[QGIS-Developer] Test builds for Linux with Qt 6.8?

[Jorge Gustavo Rocha]

Hi Tobias,

Maybe Jürgen can add some valuable insights about this. I would prefer 
to see your effort within our infrastructure.

It could be supported by  something like 
https://qgis.org/ubuntu-qt6-nightly-release where we could put qt6 based 
.deb packages.

I'm compiling locally QGIS with QT6 mostly to test Wayland support and 
migrate plugins to QT6.

I can contribute by compiling/packaging QGIS with QT6 on Ubuntu 
24.04/24.10, if necessary. The only additional step needed is to compile 
QWT 6.2.0, since there is no such package yet.

Regards,

Jorge
