Might be awhile (even quite awhile) for Debian to get QT5. I am currently using Debian testing. I downloaded the 300plus mb QT5.01 from the QT website to ~/bin. chmod +x and then ./ yields a QT5 environment to use. I do need to brush up on compilation flags for Sigil 0.70 to acess the QT5 in the cmake process.

Once successful I will keep Sigil 0.70 in a folder in ~/bin also. Another day I will try more.

I am still tickled pink about 0.62. It can stay in /usr/local -it compiled so easily.
