I'm afraid not. Once the code is packaged we'll end up with a qt-base rpm, this will have the dependencies of everything in the qtbase repository. That means that if someone wants to install my daemon they'll end up pulling in everything else. The alternative would be to have the same repo packaged multiple times with various options which will lead to problems, for example the possibility of multiple qt-base packages that are incompatible due to different options/feature sets. This problem can be avoided completely by simply having another module. The wider problem is the total lack of discussion on any public forum. This is a much more important issue, and one that is currently being handled terribly by the Qt team. I think people have been fairly patient about the lack of opengov so far, but since we've now passed the date given at QCS as being the Qt 5.0 feature freeze, it's time to demonstrate that this is more than hot air.
