qphotorec: Qt6 porting plans?
At this point in time, Linux distributions are starting to track which packages are blocking a future Qt5 cleanup. Real Qt Company OSS support stopped back in 2020, when public availability of LTS releases started to be delayed for 1 year, stable branch repository access got closed down (with 5.15 branch repository receiving any new LTS tag one year after commercial release) and only Qt6-relevant bugs are being fixed (then backported) since then.
At least Gentoo and Ubuntu are entertaining Qt5 porting trackers by now, for Gentoo, Qt5 revdep cleanups are in full swing already. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=qt5-removal https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/transitions/html/qt5-removal.html
The good news is that the porting effort to Qt6 is supposed to be much smaller than from Qt4 to Qt5. Links: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/portingguide.html https://www.qt.io/blog/references-and-hints-about-porting-from-qt5-to-qt6 https://www.qt.io/blog/porting-from-qt-5-to-qt-6-using-qt5compat-library
