Yes, I packaging Qt5 as a completely separate package from Qt4. In fact, I'm even packaging it as multiple separate packages, because they now provide split tarballs for various components of the Qt5 stack, which is great. > I think it would be useful, mostly for boards having no OGLES > acceleration, as well as to avoid any backward compatibility issues > for old application code. Of course. Note however that Qt5 doesn't require OpenGLES. There are linuxfb and directfb backend that normally work with OpenGLES. However, the linuxfb backend is crashing at the moment. I've already sent one (easy) fix to the Qt guys, and reported the next crash. They suggested some thing that didn't work, I'm still waiting for some news. So basically, the stuff will compile, I can build and run a basic QtCore application, but there will be some work to runtime test all the combinations of graphical backends and so on. I will not be testing everything.
