-==== Managing and Fixing Qt Versions ==== #qt
-
-Fix issues in [query:status=assigned|new|reopened&port~=qt3|qt4|qt5 open tickets for Qt 3, Qt 4, and Qt 5], in particular allowing for concurrent installation of the various Qt versions. There are around 50 outstanding tickets for the various Qt versions, many of which would be resolved by installing all or enough of Qt* into the main install prefix subdirectories. Some involve patching and testing on multiple OSs. Some are probably invalid but need to be tested to determine validity. The end goal for this project is to allowing for concurrent installation of the various Qt versions, and then verifying and resolving as many issues as possible that weren't resolved by the concurrent changes. Requires knowledge of Portfile programming (Tcl), Qt programming (primarily C++), and Qt makefile programming (QMake); other programming knowledge that would be useful include shell (e.g., bash) and C.

 ==== Implement fakeroot functionality ==== #fakeroot
 
 Currently, MacPorts uses root privileges in the destroot phase. That should be replaced by a system that runs as the macports user but intercepts all operations that would require root privileges (chown/chmod/etc.) and record the resulting permissions in a database.
