Tarballs which are needed as Qt 5 and Qt 6 Builds

These projects provide supporting functions to KDE apps so to ensure Qt 5 based KDE apps continue to function distros should build them twice, once with Qt 5 and once with Qt 6.

kio-extras (this one for now has a separate kio-extras-kf6 tarball, discussion ongoing on what to do for the final release)
audiocd-kio
kio-zeroconf
libkgapi still needs a Qt 5 version for kio-gdrive and a Qt 6 version for pim bits.
libkcddb needs a Qt 5 version for k3b and a Qt 6 version for kio-audiocd.
libcompactdisc
kaccounts-integration, kaccounts-providers (not functional at the moment, ignore those for now)
libkexiv2

Dependencies that need updated

Many dependencies used by our apps now need newer versions due to the switch to Qt 6, distros will now need to build these for Qt 6.
