Dear Maintainer, Once upon a time we could just do: # apt install qt-sdk This gave you an environment for developing with Qt, but actually installed too much because it installed Qt Creator (and Qt can be used headless). qt-sdk was never updated to Qt5, so in later Debian releases: # apt install qt5-default Was my go-to and I could even add 'qtcreator' if I wanted GUI stuff. But now qt5-default is gone and there's a clusterfrick ton of qt5 packages, none of which jump out at me as being all encompassing. So what exactly is the recommended way to get a dev env for developing with Qt? rdepends on qt5-default gives me: # apt install qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools But that's annoying to type and difficult to memorize. I do rdepends every time. We need a metapackage or virtualpackage or somethin... Thanks, d3fault p.s. I mean development *with* Qt, not development *of* Qt -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-11-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
