Hi
With Qt5 becoming more and more available throughout Qt apps (especially as KDE progresses into the switch), I think it's time to consider adopting an updated naming scheme.
IMHO: - Qt4 apps should use the -qt4 suffix - Qt5 apps should not use any suffix or prefix - Qt libraries should probably use a qt- prefix. (eg what is currently qt5-base, qt5-doc etc should become qt-base, qt-location). Or alternatively, no prefix at all and use upstream naming scheme (qtbase, qtlocation, ...)
I'm not a big fan of this transition happening for every major Qt release. Is there a significant downside to keeping both -qt4 and -qt5 in package names? Paul
