Description: The previous update (qgis 1.3.0-2) and the latest one (qgis 1.4.0-1) lost phython bindings support. It means that a large amount of qgis plugins doesn't work, or better, is "lost in compilation" (f-tools and plugin-manager too). When I tried to recompile this package using PKGBUILD, cmake returns "Python bindings disabled due dependency problems!". Going in the src/qgis-1.4.0/cmake subdirectory, it turned out that Python cmake module can't find SIP package, recently updated to release 4.10.
So downgrading to SIP 4.9.3-1 and PyQt 4.6.2-1 I tried to recompile Qgis 1.4.0 again, and this time cmake enabled Phython binding support.
Sadly I have no clues about troubles with SIP.

This task depends upon

PKGBUILD includes my changes.
sip.patch includes the workaround.

qgis-1.4.0-2.src.tar.gz fixes the problem (temporarily).

Read the patch on why it doesn't work originally. (hint: it's a base 10 vs 16 issue :S)

P.S. We need to contact upstream about this issue. (post link if you already contacted them)
(application/x-gzip)    qgis-1.4.0-2.src.tar.gz (1.9 KiB)
   PKGBUILD (1.5 KiB)
   sip.patch (0.6 KiB)

I don't use it, so can't verify the patch. If someone can verify that this works (or better yet, post a link to an upstream report) I'll see about rebuilding it.

Ok, I made the patch when I was very tired. I think I should explain it a little more.

cmake compares 40700 to any version that is returned by the python function. Since the latest version is 4.10, the returned version is 40a00.
I think that cmake just thinks that 40a00 < 40700 and doesn't treat the number as hex.

If you do decide to use this patch, you should include sip>=4.7 in the depends and makedepends of the PKGBUILD. Since my patch completely ignores the version check.
