@larry: I'm not sure what `port select` would offer
A way to create a bunch of symlinks to allow the end-user to select between two concurrently installed ports. Which sounds exactly like this.
but I think qtchooser gives more flexibility, and of course it's been conceived from the ground up to work with different Qt versions. And of course it's not unlikely at all that it provides functionality that's expected e.g. by 3rd party build systems that can build for both versions (QtCurve would be one of those).
Okay, except that this port sounds an awful lot like the `perl5` one, and we very much want to avoid that type of mess again. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46029#comment:18> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
