Qt interface for Smart

[Anders F Björklund]

Hi,
there's now an Alpha quality "qt" interface:
https://code.launchpad.net/~smartpm/smart/qt

It is currently lacking the settings dialogs
for channels/flags/mirrors/priorities, and
some other items, but package browsing should
be mostly working - rest will come in a Beta.

You start it up with: smart --interface=qt
(or tweak the "default-gui" system config)

It requires Qt version 3.3 to be installed,
the newer Qt 4.4 wasn't used and won't work.
(it will still work with for instance KDE 4,
assuming you install the compat libraries...)

The goal is to have both the interface itself
and the underlying code as close to the "gtk"
as possible, this is not about adding features.
Instead of the GTK stock icons, Crystal is used.


It's a work in progress, but if you use Bazaar
you can follow it and give some early feedback.

As a side note, this interface also works native
on Mac OS X if you install the Qt/Mac libraries.

PS. You'll need PyQt installed, as well as Qt:
