No argument from me. I frankly find today's open source distro packaging systems to be way too scatter-brained and more than a little stifling. Too much time spent quibbling about what's happening "upstream." I use distros for common piddly things when it's convenient, but have no qualms about stepping outside that box when it wants to force me into using ancient software.
I just thought I remembered Kovid mention (to someone trying to build calibre from source) that he had "fixed" something in Qt. I must've been wrong.
