For that, I'd like to add the following extra requirements to the buildsystem we choose to use. This is in addition to the functionality requirements. These apply to the buildsystem at the time of Qt's the switch to it. Will the switch coincide with 6.0 ? If yes, does it have to or could the switch happen at Qt > 6.0.0 whenever we have a *good* solution ? The plan was to switch for 6.0. It could happen later if we don't get consensus and is too disruptive earlier, though. But 6.0 is the perfect time, as we drop old platforms and can reliably require people to upgrade to new things. Yes, 6.0 is the time I’d like to move away from qmake for building Qt. It’s a time when we do larger changes anyway, so this fits in. I don’t really see us doing such a switch for a minor release anymore, because I think such a change is difficult to make happen without compromising the 6 months release cycle. Cheers, Lars
