Bug ID: 953735 Summary: Change libqt5-creator name to qt5-creator Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: 2015* Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: ronisbr@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: ---
Hi!
In Tumbleweed, I have been using the package qt-creator to develop Qt applications for a long time. I have always complained about the old version, since qt-creator is 3.2.2 and the newest version available is 3.5.1. However, it turns out that the newest version is already available in Tumbleweed (and in Leap) under the name libqt5-creator.
Is there any good reason to name the package as libqt5-creator? I think this is very confusing. Since it has a lib* in the name, I did not even look at the description, so I was using a very old version all the time.
Thus, I am wondering if it is possible to change the name of libqt5-creator to qt5-creator or something else.

--- Comment #4 from Jason Craig os-dev@jacraig.com --- Yeah this is not right. The package is not a library, it is an application. It is not created from within the Qt library sources, it is separate from the libraries. It is called "Qt Creator". The file you download with sources is called "qt-creator-opensource-src-[version].tar.gz". The binary which runs the application is "/usr/bin/qtcreator". The package used to be called "qt-creator". With all that, why in the world is the package now titled libqt5-creator? I don't even see why it would be necessary to call it qt5-creator, I think qt-creator was just fine.
I can branch and make requests in OBS, but I don't know what a package name change would look like or how to execute it. I also don't know what you need to put in the spec file to get RPM to understand that yes, we did just change this package from "qt-creator" to "libqt5-creator" and back to "qt-creator" (or whatever we decide to change it to).

--- Comment #5 from Mykola Krachkovsky w01dnick@gmail.com --- I think this should be closed, as with introduction of Qt Creator 6 there are qt5-creator and qt6-creator now and no confusing lib prefix.
(Hope it's ok if I close it)
