| Ideally, we'd be able to make do without using the Qt3 compatibility stuff found in Qt4, or the KDE3 compatibility stuff found in KDE4. | Ideally, we'd be able to make do without using the Qt3 compatibility stuff found in Qt4, or the KDE3 compatibility stuff found in KDE4. |
| So if you can see a simple search-and-replace change that involves a Q3 header and class, or a k3 header and class, go ahead and make it. At least at this stage we'll be able to easily see all such changes in the convert script, and maybe think again about them later. | So if you can see a simple search-and-replace change that involves a Q3 header and class, or a k3 header and class, go ahead and make it.

I've changed my mind about this more than once already.) | (If you think it would be better to commit all the code as we go along, say so. I've changed my mind about this more than once already.) (Michael says: "No. Just commit to convert.pl. It's the way to go. Since we have some considerable amount of active work in trunk/ to merge in, what I'm aiming to try to do is use this branch in its current states as a testbed for convert.pl, and then try running it on an updated/merged branch that pulls in all the changes from trunk/ one last time before we finally have to do a hard fork. After that hard fork, porting in people's ongoing work on the old QT3 code will become increasingly tedious and undesirable to deal with.") |
