where are the docs of qt4 in testing/


When I want to do some development under Qt4 I found there are not any docs in the qt package in testing/... I know the official website has the docs but I want a local copy. How can I obtain them? Thanks in advance

The version of qt in /testing is kde's local copy, which they call "qt-copy" -- aside it carrying their patches against qt (things they need for their own development), it lacks the docs. You can build qt4-4.4.3 from SlackBuilds.org for the docs, or just get them from the 4.4.3 source tarball.

Thanks for your reply~ I got the point from your explanation. So do we need a qt-doc package to make it a whole?

No, if/when it goes into mainline, the expectation is that we'll use a -stable release of qt.
