5 That is exactly the intended behaviour. We would break the tree if we would
6 simply add the new functionality to the existing qt4.eclass. And in absence
7 of an eclass versioning mechanism, this is what we came up with. As soon
8 as existing ebuilds in the tree are ported over to qt4-r2, the old
9 qt4.eclass will
10 be removed.
