The first step would be for both qmake and cmake projects to warn if the project doesn't declare keywords or no_keywords. Allow that to stay for 2 or 3 years so projects do update to declare their choices. This can start right now, in 5.15. At some point after that, change the default. Like, for example, in Qt 7. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
