Obviously you would need to make sure that the package actually does |
| 20 |
support Qt5. Then, as I see it, we could do either: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|| ( x11-libs/qt-gui:4 x11-libs/qt-gui:5 ) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
or: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
qt4? ( x11-libs/qt-gui:4 ) |
| 27 |
qt5? ( x11-libs/qt-gui:5 ) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Other thoughts? |
