We could refer to it as Qt WFE. There are at least two areas where we have to see how to select the naming schema. 1. Full name QT/Windows Free Edition in relation to trolltechs QT/Mac Open source Edition QT/X11 Open source Edition 2. package naming schema qt-win-free-x.y.z in relation to trolltechs qt-x11-free-x.y.z Here we have a name clash between trolltechs full name definition and their package naming schema QT/X11 Open source Edition !> qt-x11-free.xyz QT/Windows Free Edition => qt-win-free.xyz The only problem i see could be in the future, if trolltech decides to release a windows open source edition, which will be probably named qt-win-free-x.y.z. Then the different editions are not identifiable. Any hints ? 3. Shortcut Qt/WFE Is this really required ?

I think we are providing patch levels for a official qt release, so I would suggest to name it patch release or similar. For patch levels there is a wellknown naming schema like Qt/Windows Free Edition 3.3.3-2 or using the filname schema qt-win-free-x.y.z-.
