[QGIS-Developer] Heads-up: PyQt6 removes pyrcc

[Nyall Dawson]

Hi list,

Just a quick heads up that PyQt6 is REMOVING the pyrcc tool (see
download page at
https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download).

While this will take some time to impact QGIS, if you're a plugin
developer and still using this legacy tool then it's something to be
aware of, and start adapting for!

You can (and should!) already remove the use of this tool from your
plugins. There's better approaches to achieve everything that the tool
used to do, and moving to these will make your plugins more portable
and easier to develop.
