Just let me summarize the whole discussion from my point of view:
There are (at least) 2 users how would be happy to have qt3-devel in the
mageia repos (to compile software more easy on there local machines).
One of them volunteers itself to become the maintainer of this package
and asked if there are any concerns about it.
Possible concerns are:
qt3 is deprecated and they (mageia developer) don't wont to have
software build on it in the repos, because they don't want the mageia
users to use deprecated software.
-> But both users don't ask for having software which builds on it to
have in the repos. Right?
One possible concern which gets in my mind is:
To mess the repos with unsophisticated packages which probably is only
used by very few users, which lets the repos grow to much.
-> But I don't think there are many of such packages, that this can be
become acute.
So, IMHO I don't really get the point why it should be a problem if
Tux99 agrees to maintain this package.
The whole debate about TDE is something different and shouldn't
influence this discussion.

Thorsten
