Hi,
Is there a reason the "assistant" executable is installed in the
qt4-dev-tools package and not in an other one?
Because it's a developer's only tool.
For what I can see this is used to display help/documentation viewer,
this is barely a development task.
It displays just the Qt documentation, thus purely a developer tool.
Well it's also seems to be used for _user_ documentation:
"You can use Qt Assistant as the help viewer in your applications. You
can display your own documentation and customize Qt Assistant to look
and feel like part of your application. You can change the window title
or icon, as well as menu texts and actions. For more information, see
Customizing Qt Assistant."
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtassistant-index.html
I myself maintain one application that uses "assistant" to display its
documentation, looking in the archive, I see several others (qterm,
qtikz,...) that are shipping .qhc/.qch files too.
For me it's far from evident that it's a developers tool only.
Could you please reconsider your position? It seems to me that providing
documentation out of the box to the users (especially to the less
experienced ones) is quite important.

Laurent Bigonville
