I'd suggest to make a QA team meeting to override this policies with more correct and rationale.
Qt team members are greatly appreciated on this meeting. Even more, i think that we should not take any decision on this without at least Qt team lead(or half of Qt team devs) So, let's arrange some time and talk about this, cause it is really confusing. Qt team point is understandable, but it's still wrong. Let's make some consensus here. 02.08.2015 19:34, Ben de Groot пишет: > Recently some team members of the Qt project have adopted these ebuild > policies: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Qt/Policies > > I have an issue with the policy adopted under "Requires one of two Qt > versions".
