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: From 22.04 onwards it uses Qt6. A KF5-based tarball will be released separately for support of KF5-based KIO apps
- 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
