I saw you having both GTK2 and Qt5 builds for Linux. I tried the Qt Build but it wouldn't run on Arch Linux due to mismatching dependencies. I'm on KDE and I think Qt5 is more modern than GTK2. Can you maybe also provide a second deb based on Qt?

The current AUR infra also needs restructuring. The package is just named heidisql but should actually be named heidisql-bin because there's source available. The normal one should build from source. Then we could probably have a heidisql-gtk2, heidisql-qt5, heidisql-gtk2-bin and heidisql-qt5-bin. Or just heidisql/heidisql-bin. What are your thoughts?

One think I'll have to figure out is how to build HeidSQL on Arch from CLI for the migration (and especially the two variants). Any help on that would be appreciated.

Addendum: I saw issues 2297 on 2270 on GH which are related and I subscribed to. Maybe let's keep the discussion there.
