11 minutes? Wow! Then it's better to use the current version... I just need
someone to upload the Debian package into the repositories of Debian. I
will ping my request of adding it cause I got no response from any
maintainer.
It would be great if the Lazarus/FPC Debian maintainers could advocate the
Qt4-Package.
Thanks for your work!
