Re: [QGIS-Developer] Separate namespaces for QGIS-LTR and QGIS (3)

Sorry for rewinding the thread to where it started. Provided that users can benefit from keeping the last stable release and an LTR both installed, do you think that this is up to the specific platform to handle this (OsGeo4W does it already) or a more general solution can be provided? The LTR

Hey Carlo, I guess we are a bit confused at the moment because the goal of QGIS has never really been that at all, at least not post v1. We have always aimed to make it the best it can be for a lot of different workflows. I'm not sure I would consider anything in QGIS a step backwords at all,

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Separate namespaces for QGIS-LTR and QGIS (3)

No pun intended, when you announced what you were going to do, I used MapInfo as my main GIS and Thuban as a viewer and I hoped very much you were starting something that was went further. Since version 0.11 I was using QGIS as my "main" GIS. What I was saying is that the continuous improvement

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Separate namespaces for QGIS-LTR and QGIS (3)

Hey Carlo, Right I guess the first one is a package issue for unix type installs. On Windows this is fine as we can run different versions all the time but is a good point for Linux, etc. Regarding .qgis2 and .qgis3 This is already isolated in QGIS 3 as the settings and plugins are now all
