Those that already depends on qt-components-10. Because this is a lib package, they should update their package dependences to match latest qt-components-10 package.

Said that, according to packages.maemo.org there isn't any program which depends on original qt-components.

secondly after installation of these Qt-components ,will it be possible for us to install ported meego apps for fremantle ? & will it affect any package which is already there in repos (as if deb - installation requires old Qt-components ) ?
thanks .
The first version of qt-components-10 could be paralell installable with qt-components, because the different name space (org.maemo.fremantle vs com.nokia.meego). That is no longer the case. To add support to CSSU, I'm deploying to sets of QtComponents inside qt-components-10 packages, one that works with both, SSU and CSSU (org.maemo.fremantle) and another one (com.nokia.meego) which only works with Qt >= 4.7.4 (and don't require any tricks on QML code, only platform adaption)

Theoretically, a lazy developer could backport their app just removing unsupported Harmattan features, if any, and packing for fremantle. Problem is that he/she will be targetting CSSU users only.

IMO, the approach following in the HelloWorld example doesn't require much more effords but you gain the possiblity to reach extras repo (like meecast)
