Hello Paul

First, sorry for this shameless request from my side, like if it easy.This is just a suggestion and I want to ask your opinion.

Since Qt6 has some LTS releases , how do you see the idea of trying to port "Qt 6.5.9" which is supported to 2026-03-30 and try to stabilize it (as much as possible this release), until something happens to version 6.8 which seem being hard to make it work. Or do you think it will be better to focus on 6.8 which is also a LTS release supported to 2019?

I want to see if we can finally go mainstream with Qt6 and put it on the RPM repository.

Regards

Martin,

What is your definition of mainstream?  An rpm in some pubic repository or something else?

Qt 6.2 is/was also LTS..... that was the whole point of focussing on it...

Also, whilst 6.5.9 might be the most recent COMMERCIAL release, the opensource is still 6.5.6 (https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/6.5). I'm not entirely sure what the benefit would be of having the core Qt libs at 6.5, and trying to blend in a 6.2 webengine....
