Looking through the code, it looks like the #ifndef stuff for things called "extensive hacks" could cause some issues, but that's a cursory glance at it. I'm also not sure what to make of the patches for Qt in its repository. If they're serious patches, they should clone Qt on Gitorious and create merge requests. Fedora's Qt probably won't ship with them without some oversight that they aren't breaking things. Overall, it looks simple for a first package (though it's using qmake, not CMake). I haven't packaged anything that uses qmake myself, but more complex projects can quickly get too hard to deal with in qmake. If you're looking for other software to package, there is a wishlist on the wiki[1]. - --Ben [1]https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainers_wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJKqtJvAAoJEKaxavVX4C1X+okP/i6fQ9EvRD6+4oEeYwDrk0bM A1IpYqh3GgNGqbub+M6TmHapiRLN0bvcEMwpzlU0smDMAYHibAJ3e6eKpXLs+1hz UudCQkIccPszifnxhwiazuTpH4fmg/fFl62XxxcY+ffW4yJA6t6HPfHIWwo158E9 WuLpBv56vdI20NEqFFqpi/LJRA6FUT7VPX+Cik42H+x00/2hHv1s5/q8HY/hnMIq Vz3fMRo0Gi/FAGacNfLNAnZiBBLOwcTKgkZLbP4yiarGbHS/HAzTZwSw7mt0Wx7M 9bkuBsUZohScr2SXvwo/ElgE8EVjh80hljTg4c0eToi8DvYUueDIeX6ZOri7hqQq N7orfvYnx3ZEE2HuixJagdVP7/QdGB6NJhfzMO9AaazoTRywOJZGH3B/dIIEVaAg VGnvmgirHQ4spbcPglnGnHu/mGxYzXIV0eMEZ/R1KNrXvYVxUro0EvZ0VIu9MkAm MAAWabdQxSoPvZHgVZAvl+DRjgLUUTWWoe6yjJ+BPOCdcedsMGnu9v50n63BihD4 014o2vH7Kq+ZDuOtDnz+brOw5QWdbBNV4GHXDHPxVzPkbE2WXwTqZEmDKmjvfitG 7mdKlSUl3voan166fXB/DkwhaMr8nel+SSG8etEpAa7olfU5EFpHcp2amIMkyQYR WLITDvacyYPSmHWc2W8o =e3mV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
