Up until Qt 5.15.2 we were using qtchooser to provide unversioned links to Qt
binaries in PATH, like qmake, moc, qmljs etc. Starting with 5.15.3 such links
will be installed by each respective Qt package and '5'-version-suffixed, e.g.
qmake becomes qmake5, qml becomes qml5 etc., mirroring Qt6.

If you develop with Qt5 and rely on unversioned binaries for your workflow,
dev-qt/qtchooser as a tool for quickly switching between multiple Qt
installations (e.g. Qt3, Qt4 and Qt5) can still be manually installed. The
'default' Qt version in PATH is then controlled via config in
/etc/xdg/qtchooser.

Otherwise, dev-qt/qtchooser will be slated for cleanup on your next emerge --
depclean run.

Title: Новая версия Qt 5.15.3 меняет имена исполняемых файлов

В версиях Qt по 5.15.2 мы использовали qtchooser, чтобы устанавливать 
исполняемые файлы Qt в PATH без номера версии, такие как qmake, moc, 
qmljs и т.д. Начиная с версии 5.15.3 эти файлы будут установлены самим 
соответствующим пакетом Qt и будут заканчиваться на "5": например, qmake 
станет qmake5, qml станет qml5 и т.д., так же, как это делает Qt 6.

Если вы используете Qt5 при разработке, и ваш рабочий процесс зависит от 
этих файлов без версии, вы всё ещё можете установить dev-qt/qtchooser — 
инструмент для быстрого переключения между различными установленными Qt 
(например, Qt3, Qt4, Qt5). В таком случае версия Qt в PATH по умолчанию 
настраивается в /etc/xdg/qtchooser.

В противном случае dev-qt/qtchooser будет удалён при следующем запуске 
emerge --depclean.

Up until Qt 5.15.2 we were using qtchooser to provide unversioned links to Qt
binaries in PATH, like qmake, moc, qmljs etc. Starting with 5.15.3 [1] such 
links will be installed by each respective Qt package and '5'-version-suffixed, 
e.g. qmake becomes qmake5, qml becomes qml5 etc., mirroring Qt6.

If you develop with Qt5 and rely on unversioned binaries for your workflow,
dev-qt/qtchooser as a tool for quickly switching between multiple Qt
installations (e.g. Qt3, Qt4 and Qt5) can still be manually installed. The
'default' Qt version in PATH is then controlled via config in
/etc/xdg/qtchooser.

Otherwise, dev-qt/qtchooser will be slated for cleanup on your next emerge --
depclean run.
