Description-en: Qt 5 development defaults package
Qt is a cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt's primary feature
is its rich set of widgets that provide standard GUI functionality.
.
This package sets Qt 5 to be the default Qt version to be used when
using development binaries like qmake. It provides a default
configuration for qtchooser, but does not prevent alternative Qt
installations from being used.
.
This package should not be used for building Debian packages. Take a
look at https://qt-kde-team.pages.debian.net/packagingqtbasedstuff.html for
more information.
