In the past some of the patches that were put into qt-copy didn't
follow any of the qt-copy guidelines and they have even broken binary
compatibility. I can only guess that they were dumped there because
getting them into Qt wasn't exactly quick or easy. And I was very
surprised that distros would pick from it when I realized several
years ago my distro had a bug that wasn't in the Qt release. With the
open Qt repo things should be better. You can run your patches
against the existing autotests and there is a much more clear cut path
for what needs to get done and how to submit patches and a way for
trolltech to accept and reject patches. I would even go so far as to
say that no patch should be allowed in kde's Qt repo unless it has
been submitted to be merged.
