[Qgis-developer] Qt 5

Sorry, my message was a bit short. Please read my response to Nyall for
a more complete discussion.

I just want to make sure that there are no rumours that PR1676 [1] would
break anything.
Once that's in place, we can start to check if/where are problems and
draw a migration path.

The questions concerning the migration path are, when do packagers start
to compile (the official releases) against Qt5? All at the same
time/release? (To be kept in mind: Android is already compiled against
Qt5, some older distros that have old Qt4 versions may decide to switch
even sooner than newer distros because for them it's easier to compile
against Qt5 than to patch the source code for their old Qt4 version).
Will distros offer qgis-qt5 and qgis-qt4 in parallel? In terms of
project management a clear roadmap would be good. That however is mainly
driven by political questions and not by technical questions (most
likely QGIS 2.8 will be ready for Qt5). I would suggest to wait for
PR1676 to be merged PyQt5 support to be included. Then we can test and
decide based on more solid experiences.

All the best,
Matthias
