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 updating

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.

  • KDE Frameworks 6 (distros should ship both KF5 and KF6 packages for app compatibility) - released alongside this
  • Plasma 6 - released alongside this
  • gpgme - use latest releast
  • qca - use latest release
  • packagekit-qt - use latest release
  • grantlee - now renamed KTextTemplate and part of KDE Frameworks 6
  • libaccounts-qt - use Git master
  • signond - use latest release
  • signon-plugin-oauth2 and signon-ui - use Git master
  • kweathercore - use latest release
  • libquotient - use latest release
  • kdsoap6 - use latest release
  • kdsoap-ws-discovery-client - the kio-extras Qt 5 tar uses an internal static copy so no additional work is needed. the kio-extras Qt 6 tar needs the latest release of this built for Qt 6 https://jriddell.org/2023/11/07/kdsoap-ws-discovery-client-0-3-0/
  • qcoro - use latest release
  • futuresql - use latest release
  • kquickimageeditor - use latest release
  • qtkeychain - use latest release
  • pulseaudio-qt - use git master (nothing requires a Qt6 version yet)
  • libqaccessibilityclient - use latest release
  • polkit-qt - use >= 0.175.0
  • phonon and phonon-vlc - use latest release (note phonon-gstreamer should be dropped)
  • kuserfeedback - now part of KDE Frameworks
  • ktextaddons - use a Qt 6 build of the current release https://download.kde.org/stable/ktextaddons/
  • kunifiedpush - use Git master (Qt6 only)
  • kdiagram - use Git master
