[Qgis-psc] QGIS - QT6 Build Status Report

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi Ale,

thanks lot for this work.

If I understand correctly, the path to circumvent html vectorisation 
through intermediate pdf might work but brings a one-man library in the 
loop and a fragile dependency to the pdf format.

Even if the previous experience let us pessimistic about the possibility 
of a Qt's upstream work, I would explore this possibility in any case.

Because Qt needs to know downstream projects need it.

Because fixing upstream is always more efficient.

Because it is not expensive to ask KDAB and ask Qt's project.

Because smart workarounds are fragile and in the end a Velociraptor 
appears from the bushes and eats you alive.

Is there any other major blocker ?

Regards

Régis
