Comment (by ryandesign):
Ok, I assumed qscintilla had been created at version 1.x, qscintilla2 had
later been created at version 2.x, and then sometime later qscintilla had
been updated to version 2.x without realizing that qscintilla2 already
existed. However I see now that qscintilla was originally created at
version 2.3.2, which makes the subsequent creation of qscintilla2 years
later even more baffling.
If the intention is to have ports for qscintilla 2 with qt 4 and ports for
qscintilla 2 for qt 5, that's fine, but the port names should be fixed to
convey that, they should probably be made more similar, and probably both
be maintained by the same maintainer(s).
