            Bug ID: 217293
           Summary: update instruction for 0170218 - the qt4 and qt5 issue
                    - needed!
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Ports Framework
          Assignee: portmgr@FreeBSD.org

There is no Howto for the QT4 and QT5 issue

In the UPDATING file of the ports collection we can read this:


0170218:
  AFFECTS: users of Qt 4 and Qt 5
  AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org

  Following what is already done in Qt 5, the Qt 4 ports no longer install
  their binaries into ${LOCALBASE}/bin (which is "/usr/local/bin" in most
  cases). Additionally, the "-qt4" suffix has been dropped from the file na=
mes
  of the binaries that had it, such as "qmake-qt4".

  The new misc/qtchooser port is now used to choose whether a Qt 4 or Qt 5
  version of a binary such as "moc", "qmake" or "designer" will be used. By
  default, the Qt 5 versions are preferred, but that can be changed by sett=
ing
  the QT_SELECT environment variable to "qt4".

  qtchooser also allows one to seamlessly use other Qt installations for th=
ose
  binaries, which is particularly beneficial to people working on Qt itself=
 or
  who need their own checkouts.

  See qtchooser(1) for more information on how to configure qtchooser.


Okay, fine. But, HOW TO do this?!

I cannot install this qtchooser, because it bites with some qt4 ports that =
are
installed. And I cannot deinstall them without deinstalling A LOT of
dependencies - like kde.=20

So please, WHAT is this for an issue in the UPDATING file? Is that kidding?
There is no sollution?! We need a HowTo - where is it?
