Re: On using different library name when building for qt5

[Povilas K. <po...@ra...>]

Hi Guðjón, Uwe,

In fact, Ubuntu patches were the reason why I wrote here :-) It makes
sense that the upstream helps to solve a problem that is common. It's
also much less confusing when the library shipped by e.g. Ubuntu is not
too much different than the code that is in the source package.

With regards to Qt4 disappearing, will that impact the name of the
library on Ubuntu? If not, I think that it makes sense to still try to
have a consistent library name in upstream too, of course if Uwe agrees
eventually.

Regards,
Povilas
