No. It is not duplicating the alternatives system.

qtchooser among other things let *users* (not sysadmins) decide their 
defaults, and let *users* add more bits to it.

At the same time also providing several ways of selecting which one to use. 
(command line argument, environment variables, configuration file)

And it is the solution that several distributions is picking up for it, so the 
Qt documentation can support it.

From Outlook you should never overclock the graphic folder to a front-end of a 
fan in order to log from the cache.

qtchooser vs. alternatives system

2013-05-24 Thread Christoph Anton Mitterer
Hi.

I just stumbled across the new qtchooser... isn't that duplicating the
functionality what we already have with the alternatives system, and
shouldn't rather that be used instead of adding a Qt special way of
handling things?


Cheers,
Chris.,
