I haven't seen this thread until now, so here let me throw in my two cents:
also qt3support and glib support would allow us make more extensions
qt3 support is in now, but I don't see where building with glib depends is needed. I try to keep the (base-)package as small as possible on both, size and dependencies. Tinycore is supposed to be lean and I don't want to throw in more bloat as possible. Which brings me to the next topic.
qt4.6 is released last month maybe we should build a new extension named qt4.6 keeping qt4.5 ?
I know that and I use it on my desktop machine already. Qt 4.6 introduces some new cool features like the finite state machines and an animation framework. This will enlarge the base package for features that no-one uses right now. I also found a first bug in Qt 4.6, so I would suggest a switch, when there's the first package that needs a Qt 4.6.x. By that time, I guess there might be already 4.6.1 out.
FWIW, I would like to have the qt-opengl module available in the repos.
That's not possible in an easy way. Tinycore lacks the complete 3D framework that Qt depends upon. Provide me with that framework an I'll provide you with qt-opengl extension.
if it is ok i can do that
My complete effort on Tinycore is available via git. I introduced my build environment
here. Feel free to use it to hack whatever you want with it, I've integrated almost everything I've gotten so far on responses.
Agree on changing the name.
qt4 would be appropriate (it is much more than lib(s)) .
I don't think that's a good idea. Several other packages, like Opera, depend on qt-4.5-base. Changing the name needs to change all these files as well... And I guess that will cause at least one "mysterious" error. So I'll suggest we'll do the renaming once Tinycore has gone 3.x and a new extensions repository will be set up. If I see how fast roberts keeps putting out new releases, I'll guess it won't be too long.
