I think you can edit the world file and make the qt packages look |
| 22 |
something like this: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
dev-qt/qtcore:5 |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Basically, remove the specific version and just tell it you want the 5 |
| 27 |
slot. Then when something new comes out, it should upgrade. Of course, |
| 28 |
those versions will either have to be stable or in the needed |
| 29 |
keyword/unmask file. |

|
| 31 |
Just a thought. Someone else may have a even better idea/plan. |
