This. For now, we need to prefer qt4, if there is a choice between qt4 |
| 19 |
and qt5. (Unless upstream has already abandoned the qt4 option, which |
| 20 |
makes it less of a choice, I guess.) But please set useflags for both |
| 21 |
options, so the choice is clear to the user. |

|
| 23 |
As soon as qt5 goes stable, I think we should switch to qt5 as default |
| 24 |
where possible. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
And especially when we have an at-least-one-of or an either-or |
| 27 |
required-use, we need to have one of the options set as default. |
