14 | | Ports are supposed to instruct the Qt5 PG what they expect from it, and that means setting a variable before the PG is loaded, much like port:qt5 and port:qt5-kde set `building_qt5` before loading the PG. Using an options variable for that is overkill that makes things more complex for everyone. |

Fortunately `qt5.using_kde` was never meant to be used for this and there's still time to make adjustments. |

| 16 | Let me make something very clear here. I do not want to see a repeat of the situation of a year or so ago where I see all my work and carefully thought out mechanism be changed, after having exposed it for months without feedback, and without being able to rectify anything because I don't have commit access. That's no basis to work with, and that could ultimately mean there will be no KF5 ports in MacPorts. |
