Description Mira Ressel 2015-10-03 16:27:18 UTC

Currently, dev-qt/designer:4 installs /usr/lib64/qt4/libQtUiTools.a, while all other Qt libraries are installed as *.so's. I suspect this isn't intended?

Note: Other distributions provide libQtUiTools as a shared library.

It pretty much *is* intended.

uic interfaces were by upstream choice not meant to be stable - just recall the first few lines of an uic generated file.
