[Kde-bindings] Install Windows Binaries

[Dimitar Dobrev]

    P.S.: About estimation: I thought I could complete it by the end of October but, both fortunately and unfortunately, I got some paid jobs that are going to keep me busy at least until then. So I am regrettably unable to give an estimation at this time.

    About putting a note about deprecation, I've been hesitant about it since the existing Qyoto does work in quite a few cases and I don't have the alternative ready yet. Distributions pack the old Qyoto because it had already been integrated with their builds when I started working on the project. I never got around to talk to them about the new version with all the problems SMOKE and especially the existing Qyoto had. So, yes, you're kind of right it was about miscommunication.
    If you insist on doing it, the version would be 4.0.7 because there have been no changes to the code since.
    The new version, while I'm going to test each release, won't depend on the Qt version. Unlike SMOKE, which required tons of manual configuration per Qt version, the new approach does not require any. The most that could happen would be for the parser to choke on some retarded C++ construct in a header, and such a case would be fixed as soon as possible. That said, I target Qt 5 but it wouldn't be too hard to wrap other versions, including older ones.
    About the guy with C# and QML, could you please send me a link? I've read about someone asking about C# bindings for Qt/QML but not someone working on it.

    Regards,

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
