Pre-release snapshot versions of Qt Open Source Edition are available via FTP and rsync. For more information about snapshots, please see the Snapshots page.

The pre-release snapshots come with absolutely no warranty. The next stable Qt release will not necessarily contain all features present in these pre-release snapshots.

Currently we offer rsync access to the open source edition of Qt for various platforms and versions:

• Qt for X11: 3.x
• Qt for X11: 4.x
• Qt for Windows: 4.x
• Qt for Windows CE: 4.x
  
• Qt for Mac OS X: 3.x
• Qt for Mac OS X: 4.x
• Qt for Embedded Linux: 2.x
• Qt for Embedded Linux: 4.x

For the most up-to-date picture of the rsync modules available from our server:

		rsync rsync://rsync.trolltech.com/

For example, to get Qt for X11 snapshots with rsync, choose a directory in which to install the distribution (your-qt-repository), and run the command:

rsync -avz rsync://rsync.trolltech.com/qt-x11-4 <your-qt-repository>

Similarly, to get Qt for Mac OS X snapshots, run the command:

rsync -avz rsync://rsync.trolltech.com/qt-mac-4 <your-qt-repository>

This will change all the files in your-qt-repository to match the files on our rsync server. Note that no merging is done - if you have made changes to your sources you will lose the changes, so keep patches.

If you have problems, try using a newer version of rsync.
