hi,
once dbus-qt was removed from fedora because there was no use for it. but now kde 3.4 supports dbus-qt for the media:/ protocol which indicated if a new device was connected. so there now is a use for dbus-qt so i think it ought to be included.
Does an app in fedora core require it? When you say the media:/ protocol indicates if a new device is connected, does it listen to dbus signals or does it propagate them itself? For device connection there is already a freedesktop standard for propagating device additions and removals called HAL. Also does kde 3.4 compile against the qt-dbus bindings in CVS? So far the qt bindings in CVS have not been passing a dist check on my fedora box. This may be a candidate for extras if I can figure out how to split packages between extras and core when they come from the same spec. I also have no objection into getting into core provided there is a real need. I am hesitant to put it in if the API is still in flux since the apps that use it and the version of dbus we ship may get out of sync.
