OK, understood. Is there a particular reason, why the qyoto repository is not 
"officially" deprecated (with a statement on the homepage and/or in the repo 
itself). I am asking, because the problem is that all the distribution I 
checked (OpenSuse, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Arch) package the old repository 
and not the new one. Since I am not aware of a technical reason for that (like 
an application depending on it), I assume this is just due to a 
miscommunication.

Anyway, I'll start by trying to build a new package for OpenSuse and see if I 
can get it in. What version number would the current assemblygen version be? 
4.11.2 (as KDE's), 4.10.3 (as the only git tag suggests) or 4.0.7 (as the 
version of the windows binary)?

Do you have any time estimation, when this will be ready? Is this still for 
QT4 or are you targeting QT5?

By the way, in case you missed it: A few weeks ago, a guy announced on the 
mono mailing list, that he wants to try a C# binding for QML. Maybe that's 
interesting for your work there.

cheers
