When I did this change (1th March) qmake4 wasn't really used yet so I did not think to write this mail before. I'm sorry if this caused more confusion here. -- Andrea Arch Linux Developer

Please maintainers fix your PKGBUILDs so they build on systems with both qt4 and qt5-base installed; when your PKGBUILD needs qt4 and: * use qmake, you can replace it with qmake4 * use cmake, you can add -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=qmake4 to the cmake options Cheers -- Andrea Arch Linux Developer
[arch-dev-public] qt4 replaces qt
Hi all, a new qt4 package has hit [testing] and will replace the current qt package. qt4 doesn't provide 'qt'; you will need to rebuild EVERY package installed from AUR and replace qt with qt4 in the depends array. Also, I suggest to every maintainer in AUR to remove qt from the depends() array when there's qtwebkit or any package that needs qt: if you do that, this will require no rebuild as we updated every package in the official repositories to use qt4. Also, we ship the Qt 5.x series in [testing]. Qt 5.x is more modular than 4.x. This allow us to have these Qt 5.x packages: * qt5-base * qt5-declarative * qt5-graphicaleffects * qt5-imageformats * qt5-jsbackend * qt5-multimedia * qt5-quick1 * qt5-script * qt5-svg * qt5-tools * qt5-translations * qt5-webkit * qt5-xmlpatterns Generally you only need qt5-base. But, if you are a Qt developer or you want a full installation you can install the whole 'qt' group. When you install both qt5-base and qt4, qmake will refers to the 5.x version. To 'force' Qt 4.x, you can use the qmake4 symlink. There's also moc-qt4, uic- qt4 and rcc-qt4. We provide these symlinks as they are used by cmake and by the configure scripts to locate qt4. -- Andrea Arch Linux Developer
