Arch Linux User Repository

Thanks for pointing it out, general. I've updated the PKGBUILD with the source url found on another AUR package. the file is the same as sha256sum is the same.

the source link

http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.7/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.7.tar.gz

returns a 404 so it is time to either remove the package or update the link.

I updated the PKGBUILD to reflect the actual official qt4 package. It should compile now. If not, you've to build it in a clean chroot.

Will not compile.

I've built x86_64 and i686 binaries and uploaded them here (not a repo): http://wpage.unina.it/aorefice/sharevari/qt4-revert80e3108/

I don't think so; apparently, there are some reasons qt-devs made this change; they say to avoid some corruption (though i don't saw them). Here the commit: https://github.com/qtproject/qt/commit/80e3108f5cd1e1850ec81a21100d79a0946addd7 Here the bug it is supposed to fix: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-24188 And arch devs dont patch by their own, you know. Anyway, i opened a forum thread time ago: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=198709 You're free to open a bug anyway, i'll support it.

This has a high chance of making it into the official package, IMHO. I'd try to suggest this as a bug report to the package in the repos.

Build in a clean chroot environment, or this will fail.
