[Qt-interest] Difference between commercial and open source release of Qt 4.7.4

[Marco Borm]

Until today I recommended using the qt-package provided from the linux 
distributor(debian,redhead...) and NOT to install self compiled qt-libs 
possibly breaking the system/other applications and/or patching 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
But now we have some kind of mini-fork with qt-opensource and qt-digia 
which isn't using the same source and unavailable as standard 
distribution package.
What to recommend now?
