Description:
pyqt4 4.11.3-2 release changed the location of pyqt's .sip files in python2-pyqt4 from /usr/share/sip to /usr/share/sip/Py2-PyQt4. This broke my build of python-qt-binding for ROS, since unfortunately pyqt4 no longer provides a way to determine the .sip files' location ('pyqt_sip_dir' in the pre 4.10 build system). AFAIK 'Py2-PyQt4' is not used by any other distribution, whereas /usr/share/sip/PyQt4 appears to be standard and hard-coded all over the place. Since the sip files are identical for the python 2 and 3 packages and we already have a pyqt4-common package I propose moving the sip files there. This would make pyqt4-common match up with Fedora's PyQt4-devel. This would help with getting pyqt4 4.11 compatibility pushed to upstream packages. PKGBUILD diff attached. I could not find a way to get pyqt's root makefile to only install the sip files, so this manually copies them.

$ diff -ru /usr/share/sip/PyQt4 /usr/share/sip/Py2-PyQt4
Only in /usr/share/sip/PyQt4: Qsci
I'll look into how Fedora handles this.
So this change to pyqt would just bring it in line with how qscintilla is packaged.
Updating pyqt4 and pyqt5 for this change.
