Nobody knows when PR 1.2 will be released. Well it isn't a big problem. The big problem is Nokia's and "extras" repositories HQ's uncoordinated actions. Now we have some applications locked in extras-devel without a simple way to install them because they need new version of Qt. Is there a complex one?
Is it the time to find a workaround solution or a month isn't enough?

if you do not use QT4.6 specific code, Im guessing it should work well on the device even if you build it in the PR1.2 SDK, I havent tried it myself though.

The Qt/Nokia team did not make it clear enough that the qt4-maemo5 libraries are intended as experimental Qt snapshots. These libraries are not intended to be used in final end-user applications.

libqt4 is the correct Qt to be used when you want to promote your application to extras. In PR1.1* firmware this is version 4.5.3, in PR1.2 it will be 4.6.2.

When PR1.2 is released, all applications depending on libqt4 (>=4.6) will be able to be promoted to Extras.

After PR1.2 release the qt4-maemo5 libraries will be renamed to qt4-experimental to make it more clear that this is only to be used as tech preview for developers.

Do you really think that I don't know this? I'd like to know how long are you going to wait for that mythical PR1.2. When the SDK iin the autobuilder has been changed to the new version I thought that it's a matter of a week or two, but now I think it will be released in 3-4 months. And it seems that no one knows the real date.
BTW qt4-maemo5 is too buggy to be considered "stable".
