Greetings,
SCons has always been (as much as possible) a batteries include tool.
For me personally, and also from many questions on the mailing list
and IRC, having mainstream tools not in the core confuses users. I
consider QT to be a mainstream tool..
I'd suggest the following:
1) deprecate qt, rename it qt3
2) integrate qt4 and qt5 into the core.
Thoughts? I know I'm disagreeing with others, hopefully this isn't
just bike sheding (Please call me on it if it is).
everything you say above makes sense to me. I don't need the Qt tools in
the core, but I don't need them external either. All I'd like to see is
a clear direction in which we are going, and you're offering one.
I'm a 100% for doing it like this, if no objections from other people
show up.
That said, I think it would be a great idea to add non-mainstream
tools as python packages distributed via pypi which would install into
the core or in such a way that the core would find them.
I agree.
Regards,
Dirk
