Up until Qt 5.15.2 we were using qtchooser to provide unversioned links to Qt |
| 8 |
binaries in PATH, like qmake, moc, qmljs etc. Starting with 5.15.3 such links |
| 9 |
will be installed by each respective Qt package and '5'-version-suffixed, e.g. |
| 10 |
qmake becomes qmake5, qml becomes qml5 etc., mirroring Qt6. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
If you develop with Qt5 and rely on unversioned binaries for your workflow, |
| 13 |
dev-qt/qtchooser as a tool for quickly switching between multiple Qt |
| 14 |
installations (e.g. Qt3, Qt4 and Qt5) can still be manually installed. The |
| 15 |
'default' Qt version in PATH is then controlled via config in |
| 16 |
/etc/xdg/qtchooser. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Otherwise, dev-qt/qtchooser will be slated for cleanup on your next emerge -- |
| 19 |
depclean run. |
