We do indeed remove all private headers except for the ones required by another submodules (that's why qtbase ships them). > One can argue about creating an extra package just for the private > development files, but in the attached patch I opted to include the > files together with the public ones. That's a very bad idea, private headers are not API/ABI stable. *Maybe* we can add the private headers for everything in the last Qt 5 upload, as it will switch to Qt 6 after all. But that's to be decided. -- Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer http://perezmeyer.com.ar/ http://perezmeyer.blogspot.com/
