I've been running MythTV 0.22 for some time on Gentoo. My qt4 install currently includes x11-libs/qt-qt3support only because I have the qt3support USE flag set. It doesn't appear that anything requires it except for x11-libs/qt-gui, and only because of that USE flag.

Code:
equery depends x11-libs/qt-qt3support
[ Searching for packages depending on x11-libs/qt-qt3support... ]
x11-libs/qt-gui-4.5.3-r2 (qt3support? ~x11-libs/qt-qt3support-4.5.3[debug=])


On my everyday Gentoo machine I have KDE installed and all sorts of KDE apps seem to require that, but on my MythTV boxes I get the above output.

Do I actually need x11-libs/qt-qt3support or the qt3support USE flag? Some recent upgrades I'm about to install want to pull in all sort of media-plugins/gst-plugins* stuff that appears to be needed only for that.

Thanks in advance.

Tom

You'll need qt3support until Qt5 then you'll need qt4support. There are classes in KDE4 still using qt3support ;_;

Yes, but I don't have KDE on either of my MythTV machines. They're both using fluxbox.

Based on the dependencies it doesn't look like I should need it.

Well that answers that. If I try removing the qt3support USE flag the update generates all sorts of conflicts ending in this:

Code:
emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy "~x11-libs/qt-gui-4.6.2[glib,qt3support,-debug,-aqua]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/qt-gui-4.6.2 (Change USE: +qt3support)
(dependency required by "x11-libs/qt-phonon-4.6.2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.6.2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "media-tv/mythtv-0.22_p23069" [installed])
(dependency required by "world" [argument])


...so apparently it's needed. There seems to be an annoying number of gst plugins getting installed. I wonder if all that's really needed. They seem to be coming from phonon.
