Sune, Boudhayan, Albert, Thanks for your feedback! I think we already have consensus on the "-qt5" suffix. I'll go rename the shared libraries in a few repos... :) Albert, do you mean you want a Techbase page with guidelines for libraries? Regarding the library product, Boudhayan almost repeated my proposal [1]. But using a namespace (e.g. KC5::) would not be a good idea because this product may contain completely disconnected libraries. "-qt5" suffixes should be enough. For KF5 the namespace makes sense because the frameworks have numerous dependencies between one another, thus KF5 feels and is promoted as an all-in-one product.
