The guy building the tarball will be including Qt 4.6 in the tarball and linking against that. He is building it now.
erm... that is going to mean that everytime there is an update for either QT or anything that it links into or anything that is in a lib associated down that chain - the entire stack needs to be rebuilt. Are you sure this is a good idea ?
I'm not sure, but the guy who is maintaining it seems to think so. I advised him to build for CentOS 6, not 5, but 5 is much more widely distributed and there are other reasons for staying with CentOS 5, such as AutoDesk support.
I hate having to worry about multiple libraries. And in updates of the std. packages, it can break your specialized one. I would have to recommend to your krista list to build against the library we have now.
A question: what new functionality does the newer library provide, noting that it's a subrelease, *not* the next release, and so should only have bug and security fixes?
