Obviously you would need to make sure that the package actually does support Qt5. Then, as I see it, we could do either: || ( x11-libs/qt-gui:4 x11-libs/qt-gui:5 ) or: qt4? ( x11-libs/qt-gui:4 ) qt5? ( x11-libs/qt-gui:5 ) Other thoughts? -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer Gentoo Qt project lead, Gentoo Wiki admin
