By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2011-10-30 12:33:52 CDT

There are two packages named dbus-tqt. One is the original Qt3 bindings. The other is the backported bindings from Qt4.

How about less confusing names? Such as dbus-qt3-tqt and dbus-qt4-tqt or something similar?

Comment 1 Darrell 2013-04-15 13:05:01 CDT

Tim, we're probably too far gone into this to change the package names at this point. How about we resolve this by providing clear package descriptions for each?

I don't know whether my original problem report is accurate. Proposed descriptions:

dbus-tqt:
---------

This package provides the TQt-based dbus bindings for applications using the Qt3 interface to D-BUS.

dbus-1-tqt:
-----------

This package provides the TQt-based dbus bindings for applications using the Qt4 interface to D-BUS.

Please edit!

Perhaps package renaming is more appropiate. Also to check whether we need both packages or not.

This reminds me my question from 1-2y ago when I was trying to understand why we have two of the kind

I would also vote for removing the one in favor of the other - of course I would prefer keeping the dbus-1-tqt, because I am working on it. But in general I ask my self why should we do that?

Finally when I run rdepends it shows that few things depend on libdbus-tqt-1-1c2

 apt-cache rdepends libdbus-tqt-1-1c2
libdbus-tqt-1-1c2
Reverse Depends:
  libdbus-tqt-1-1c2
  libdbus-tqt-1-dev
  libdbus-tqt-1-1c2-dbgsym
  libdbus-tqt-1-1c2
  amarok-engine-yauap-trinity
  kmplayer-base-trinity

and other few things depend on libdbus-1-tqt

$ apt-cache rdepends libdbus-1-tqt
libdbus-1-tqt
Reverse Depends:
  libdbus-1-tqt
  tdebluez
  libtdebluez
  libtdeobex
  tdepowersave-trinity
  tdelibs14-trinity
  libdbus-1-tqt-dev
  libdbus-1-tqt-dbgsym
  libdbus-1-tqt
  kdesktop-trinity

This is based only on my installation and I do not have many packages installed.

Perhaps when we finalize the work on dbus-1-tqt migration to this library will be much easier.
