Description

How the transition should be done

Note: this section should be considered incomplete. I'll appreciate some changes suggested by people who have maintained Qt family in the past.

  • Add Qt6 family of packages
  • Initial migration of a few packages to link against Qt6
  • Manual testing of the packages now linked against Qt6
    • #19464
  • Complete transition to Qt6 for all packages that successfully link against it.
  • Deprecate Qt5 family of packages, and finally remove it later
