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 Laurent Dard 2011-11-16 03:10:36 CST

http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_5_13
says:
"For obvious reasons any Qt3 version released by this project is licensed under the GPL only; holders of Trolltech Qt licenses may not use these versions in their proprietary projects."

But the configure script is still asking for a license agreement: the source package should be modified to reflect the changes.

At least:
* configure README* INSTALL FAQ should be modified
* LICENSE.QPL should be removed

Statements about Qt3 from:
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_5_13
should be copied in the README

I send a patch for the configure script only.
But I'm not quite sure about two things:

* Is the QPL really to be removed?
* I define:
  MODULES="styles tools kernel widgets dialogs iconview workspace \
    inputmethod network canvas table xml opengl sql"
  Can it create problems?
