Cool, thanks a lot. Do you plan to provide these one-shot or on the 
longer run? In this case, it would make sense to subscribe to the 
packager at owncloud.org list, to get packaging related information in time.

Yes, we're not planning to go with Qt5 in forseeable future.

For Debian it's not a problem, since Debian 7 will hopefully declared stable soon, but I see no such remedy for RHEL, since RedHat probably won't update Qt within the RHEL lifecycle. This means that in order to keep RHEL 6 supported, we would need to find some way to ship Qt 4.8 along.
