That's what we did for Qt 4.5, so other stuff (which needed it) could be
built against Qt 4.5.

Buildroot overrides affect ALL packages built against a given package, they
are not per build. So building a package against Qt 4.4 required untagging
Qt 4.5 from the buildroot, building the package and retagging Qt 4.5 (which
is why my announcement said it should be done only if really needed,
otherwise the update should just wait for Qt 4.5).

Yet it was sent even to fedora-devel-announce (and fedora-devel-list, too).

You MUST read the announcements in fedora-devel-announce (they're
automatically sent to this list as well).
