[arch-dev-public] Qt 5.0.2 and qtchooser
Hi all, I changed our qt5 packages structure with the update to the new Qt5 minor release. Our qt5 binaries are now installed in /usr/lib/qt/bin and a -qt5 symlink in /usr/bin is provided. In result the qtchooser tool can be used to set the system qt toolkit to use. By default, Qt5 is used. For non-qt5 users this means that you can install qtchooser and get the qt tools in /usr/bin back. E.g. qt4 only users have no /usr/bin/qmake; installing qtchooser and setting the default Qt toolkit to Qt4 will make /usr/bin/qmake back. -- Andrea Arch Linux Developer

So there are /usr/bin/??? files that are completely untracked? Allan

Absolutely not. It's better if I summarize it to explain it: * qt5 installs bin in /usr/lib/qt/bin, and -qt5 symlinks in /usr/bin * qt4 installs bin in /usr/lib/qt4/bin, and -qt4 symlinks in /usr/bin * qt3 installs bin in /usr/lib/qt3/bin, and -qt3 symlinks in /usr/bin qtchooser installs bins in /usr/bin which point to the Qt version you set in /etc/xdg/qtchooser/default.conf or ~/.config/qtchooser/default.conf. -- Andrea Arch Linux Developer
