It'd propose to have an ubuntu package that downloads the latest stable release of the Qt SDK bundle and install it to a user path (e.g. I think the preferred way to work with Qt these days, as I learn from other project like NodeJS . django and others, is not through sys wide installations.) In any event that is what I always do and it works best for multiple versions of Qt and the binaries , and I have a bash script to switch envs. Perhaps we could create something like Python's virtualenv for Qt? > > 5.

You mean, part of the Qt SDK installation or plain Qt from source installation? -Sivan _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
