Package: lintian Version: 2.5.24 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
In the Qt/KDE team, we have provided a couple of 'user oriented' configuration packages that sets the system up to have either qt4 or qt5 as the default Qt when invoking qmake and similar tools. But these are end user oriented and should not be used for neither package building nor other packages should depend on it. A special exception to the above is that there might be some cases where debian-qt-...@lists.debian.org might want to do it for 'chained' configuration packages. So, if you could add an Error for that. If a suggested solution should be presented, likely the following: build-dep qt4-default Instead of Build-Depending on qt4-default, replace it with libqt4-dev, and if your build system is qmake, please invoke qmake with the -qt4 first argument. If you use CMake, it should be picked up without further changes. build-dep on qt5-default Instead of Build-Depending on qt5-default, replace it with qtbase5-dev, and if your build system is qmake, please invoke qmake with the -qt5 first argument. If you use CMake, it should be picked up without further changes. dep on qtX default. Depending on qtX-default is bad, because it forces a specific configuration of the underlying system, a configuration that might not be what the system owner actually wants, so please don't put it in your Depends line Thanks for your considerations /Sune -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.24.51.20140617-1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-5 ii diffstat 1.58-1 ii file 1:5.19-1 ii gettext 0.18.3.2-2 ii hardening-includes 2.5 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.37-2 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.37-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.10 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.194-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.03-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.92-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.33-2 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.09-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.60-1 ii man-db 2.6.7.1-1 ii patchutils 0.3.3-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.18.2-4 ii t1utils 1.37-2 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libautodie-perl 2.25-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.18-3 ii perl-modules [libautodie-perl] 5.18.2-4 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.17.10 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.71-1+b1 pn libtext-template-perl <none> pn libyaml-perl <none> ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
