[QGIS-Developer] qt5 releases, packaging impact?

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Greg,

As of right now, Qt6 support in QGIS is experimental and needs more work
and testing. Parts have been successfully compiled using Qt6 in the
past, but I am not aware of anyone shipping QGIS bundled with Qt6.
If you want to package QGIS for stable use, I would recommend sticking to
the latest Qt 5.15 packages (ideally with the KDE patchset included
https://community.kde.org/Qt5PatchCollection)

Best regards
Matthias
