Migrate code from PyQt5 to PySide6

Open zefr0x opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

This pull-request aims to migrate torbrowser-launcher from Qt5 to Qt6.

The next step is to update deps in BUILD.md, build_rpm.sh, and stdeb.cfg to install python3-pyside6 rather than python3-pyqt5. But for the time beeping, Debian doesn't ship pyside6 in there repos and so does Fedora.

By the way according to my knowledge, torbrowser-launcher is currently violating PyQt5's GPLv3 license by being licensed under MIT (unless the commercial license is used). So we must use PySide6 or chagne torbrowser-launcher's license to GPLv3.

Should we just don't care about GPLv3, FOSS, and official support and use PyQt6 rather than PySide6 since PyQt6 is already available in Debian Bookworm and Fedora?
