In preparation for that, we want to ask maintainers of all ebuilds in the tree with dependencies on Qt4, to make sure that they have the proper slot. Otherwise your package may pull in Qt5 while it may not in fact support it.
This can be trouble if the application actually works with Qt5. It might depend on Qt4 but has no problems with Qt5 (contrary to Qt3 vs Qt4, Qt5 is mostly compatible with much of existing Qt4 code), needlessly pulling-in Qt4. Many applications simply build and run as-is and no code changes are necessary.
So what would be the methodology of making sure a package has the proper slot?
