they *do* harm. i positively do *not* want to use qmake-qt5 just because it's the least evil for linux package users. That's the very most important change that needs to be done: renaming qmake. All the other tools could be separated elsewhere, the libs could be in different dirs. But qmake is the one tool run directly by users, the one tool that Qt Creator asks users to locate. Especially for Qt Creator users I don't see any reason for renaming qmake. I don't see any issue with pointing it to "qmake" in different directories. Qt Creator doesn't care if qmake is in the path or not. That's what we do all the time with our self-compiled Qt versions too. It needs to be renamed.. If you don't want to make it the default, then at the very least we need to add the option to our configure script to force the renaming. We need to adapt our buildsystem to creating the renamed tool. This is not debatable... we simply need to do it in Qt. I don't want distribution packagers choosing different methods: I want them all to have the same solution, the one solution that will be recommended to LSB 5.0, the one solution that the helpful people in #qt, interest@ and other discussion channels will need to know. In other words, the renaming will be the de-facto default for everyone using Linux. Why the hell shouldn't it be the de jure default too? Other than that it requires work on your part, Ossi. oh, i'm not worried about the work. saying no is easy. the patches would of course be written by those who want the changes. ;) I'm willing to put in the effort to make it happen. I've already created one patch going in that direction[1]. But you're the maintainer of the buildsystem and your objections so far would indicate a -2 on your part.
