Why Fedora 20 don't have QT 5 in the repos?
As you know, QT 5.1 has released as final version, and 5.2 RC has also released, but QT 4.8.5 still is in Fedora 20 RC repos, why?

There are a bunch of packages related to qt5 in my Fedora 20 virtual machine. The command yum search qt5 lists 157 packages here :)
HTH,

Well, you can switch over to qt5 inside the qt4 creator and a lot of stuff works, but some doesn't, it's only a partial solution. For example if you are building with qt5 and make a plugin for qtcreator it won't run since qtcreator is a qt4 application. I would also love it if they'd make this possible. Just a package for qtcreator-qt5 would be awesome. Without it you have to build from source. Within that constraint, you would Tools -> Options -> Qt Versions -> Add and tell it where to find qmake-qt4
There are really a bunch of qt5 packages, but the only qt-creator package is based in qt4.8.5 and it does not detect qt5 when you go to "Qt Versions" in the "Build & Run" options menu. The only way I found to build qt5 applications in Fedora using qt creator is to download the installer from qt-project.org .
It would be nice to have Fedora repos updated or at least to know why it is outdated. Maybe there's a reason.
