Are you aware that qt-at-spi was integrated into QT itself as of QT 5, and
therefore no longer exists as an independent package?

I suspect that arch Linux has many packages which still depend on QT 4.8, so
you may need the old version of QT-AT-SPI for those as far as I understand the
situation. Perhaps the right question here is how best to support
forward/backward compatibility. The latest Git is probably the best you're
likely to get prior to the move to QT 5, and you can create a tar file from
the git repository with git archive.
