Hello,

Recently eric-6.0.0 has been released. It is a new major release which 
provides fully python2/python3 support and supports Qt5 interface as well as 
Qt4.

According to these features I plan to push Qt5 version to [community], I have 
contacted with upstream some time ago and they said Qt5 version is stable 
enough. This version will replace old {,python2-}eric packages. But as far as 
there are a lot of Qt4 based applications in our repo, I plan to continue 
maintain Qt4 based eric, but these packages will be renamed to eric-qt4 and 
will be in conflict with Qt5 based eric.

I push these changes to [community-testing] in near future if there are no any 
objections. Then if it will work normally I will move them to [community] 
after two weeks period.

CC'ing to arch-general@ for possible discussion.
