I think it's time to change the default version of qt used by the system from 4 to 5. This bug purpose is to track the process Reproducible: Always
We should probably switch to Qt5 soonish. Qt4 is slowly being removed from the tree. On qt4 free system running qmake just prints qmake: could not find a Qt installation of '' Of course qmake -qt5 still works.
(In reply to Andrius Štikonas from comment #1) > We should probably switch to Qt5 soonish. Second that, imo all the important bugs are fixed.
Agreed, we can do the switch in 5.9.4. Or should we wait for 5.10.x? Note that currently the symlink is statically created in qt4-build-multilib.eclass, therefore we need to revbump qtcore:4 as well, and add appropriate blockers to qtcore:5.
Hm, yes, let's do that with 5.9.4 - why wait. :) USE=qt4 was already dropped from desktop profile with a few individual exceptions, and revdeps are being phased out at a fast pace.

Should we just revbump-by-git-mv all current qtcore versions at once to enforce the eclass changes? Otherwise we'd have to put the link creation behind conditionals and somehow I don't think we need another qtcore:4 stabilisation.

Simply revbumping isn't enough to prevent the file collision.
Yes, including adding the necessary blocker. I was just getting confused by 'do the switch with 5.9.4' when we need to bump and add the block in all qtcore:* ebuilds.

I guess we are done here.
