I don't see what the problem is now. We have slots, usedeps and required_use. Why would we need to avoid using gtk2/gtk3 useflags? We of the Qt team are expecting Qt5 to enter the tree within the next few months, and I'm not expecting any trouble with using qt4 and qt5 useflags. -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer Gentoo Qt project lead
