Re: Staying on top of Qt security

Sorry, Chris, that I bothered you with the state of pumpa; I was so convinced
that you were the packager that I did not even check! I suppose that I have
read too many of your blog posts to planet gnu; whenever I hear "federation"
or "pumpsomething" now, I think of you.

Thanks for the initiative!

I am not a big fan of packaging from non-release versions. Maybe you could
convince upstream that this is enough of an exciting change to make a release,
Leo? In the end, it is probably more interesting and important to get rid
of Qt-4 than to not package from git. But there are still other packages
requiring Qt-4. Maybe we should wait a bit until their number is more reduced, 
and then take a joint decision for the remaining ones.
