So we can now work on next step ?
Assume you can build it without problem, that's it's including without
problem in mageia, put it on an external repository for more test and after
discuss again about it's inclusion in mandriva.

I did not see any negative attitude directed towards you, most of people
told you that for the moment it was a no-go in order to enable qt3-devel
until you'll be able to prove that TDE can integrate nicely in Mageia,
that's all.
They also explained :
-> why qt3 was still in mageia & why we did not package the -devel files.
We could have close this thread far earlier

I don't see why.
The only problem we faced is that we're not agree about packaging qt3-devel
for the moment, that's all. We proposed you to packaged TDE , get it
reviewed etc etc.
Some of us indeed ask for a Qt4 TDE and not a Qt3 TDE..

We started a new distribution and we made choices, one of them was to not
have Qt3 apps.
It's not like we were providing Qt3 & others apps & suddently someone
decides to drop all of them from the distribution... This could be seen as
arbitrary and unnecessary limitations because suddently you can loose
functionnality, here we started *without* thoses because we decided to start
like this.
