I'm not sure I agree with this part. For one thing, you can bet that "qmake" will *not* be Qt 5's for the next year or two, as people are still developing Qt 4 applications. And like I said in another email, Qt 5's qmake is in an entirely different category from gcc, ruby, etc. But I'm glad you brought python up!

Those are non- configurable symlinks. So even if Python 3 were installed on those Ubuntu and Debian, it still wouldn't have overwritten. If you want to take python as precedence, then we conclude "qmake" is for Qt 4 and we need to find a new name for Qt 5. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
