IMO the problem is that qtchooser acts as one point to select ALL |
| 2 |
components for the default Qt, be it qt4 or qt5 (and possibly qt6 in 2020), |
| 3 |
without checking if the tool really exists. |
| 4 |
It just forwards the call to an execuatble with the same name inside the |
| 5 |
qt-installation's bin dir. (/usr/lib/qt...) |
| 6 |
qtconfig got removed and people (with DEs lacking qt integration) couldn't |
| 7 |
configure their fonts/colors/widget style/... anymore. So someone just |
| 8 |
started to develop a third-party config tool to fill the gap. |
| 9 |
qtchooser on the other hand is an official qt tool (at least it is hosted |
| 10 |
on qt's servers). I think that's why they don't just call qt5ct ;) And it |
| 11 |
would introduce a speacial case for just this one tool. |
