Qt 4.4.1 available in hardy-backports?

Asked by Diego Schulz

I'm anxiously waiting for Qt 4.4.1 packages to hit hardy-backports since more than a week now. Does anyone knows for sure when this will happen (or if it will happen, anyway)?

Currently I'm using Qt 4.4.0, but It has some annoying issues when playing with PostgreSQL 8.3.3.
I know I can compile from source, but deploying apps has become a nightmare when it comes to more than a few machines.

TIA

Additionally, I think <a href='http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16252115/psql-8.3.patch' target='_blank'>this patch</a> should be evaluated.
I consider it more complete than the fix included in upstream Qt 4.4.1

Yes, that's the version I'm using right now. But, as I mentioned, it has issues with postgresql 8.3.x

Same problem here. 4.4.1 is especially important for programmers developing with Qt 4, it fixes a major debugging issue for Q_ASSERT.

Any info on when it's planned to appear in hardy-backports?

A log from #kubuntu-devel follows:

18:23 dschulz does anyone knows when Qt 4.4.1 packages will be available in hardy backports?
18:23 apachelogger not before KDE 4.4.1
18:24 apachelogger it's causing one awful load of quirks
18:24 apachelogger if .1 is going to be backported at all
18:24 dschulz oh no
18:24 yuriy KDE 4.1.1 I hope. Though I can't wait for 4.4.1 :P

I'm trying to build my own packages. Can't wait.

It was tempting to just grab a copy of the binary deb packages built for Intrepid, but decided to compile from sources as I don't know if those packages were built linked to newer versions of libraries (qt deps) not available at this time in Hardy.

That's how I built the packages:

 mkdir ~/build && cd ~/build

 wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qt4-x11/qt4-x11_4.4.1-0ubuntu2.diff.gz
 wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qt4-x11/qt4-x11_4.4.1-0ubuntu2.dsc
 wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/q/qt4-x11/qt4-x11_4.4.1.orig.tar.gz

 sudo apt-get build-dep libqt4-sql

 dpkg-source -x qt4-x11_4.4.1-0ubuntu2.dsc

 cd qt4-x11-4.4.1/

 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

 cd ..

 sudo dpkg -i *.deb
