With that reasoning it could be put in qtbase. But the tool need to be independent of Qt4 or Qt5. We don't want to force anyone to checkout a qt5 repository just to use Qt4. It is also released independently of Qt5, so I see no point in having it in the qttool repository. -- Olivier Woboq - Qt services and support - http://woboq.com _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
