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
kio-gdrive
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: a Qt5 build of the library part is needed for kf5-purpose and kf5-kio-gdrive. Use -DKF6_COMPAT_BUILD=ON to build that. Available since Beta 2
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 - released alongside this, distros should ship both KF5 and KF6 packages for app compatibility see Coinstallability Frameworks 6 Release notes
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

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

kuserfeedback - now part of KDE Frameworks
ktextaddons - use a Qt 6 build of the current release https://download.kde.org/stable/ktextaddons/
kunifiedpush - Do NOT ship this, it requires KDE to set up a suitable server and none exists yet.
kdiagram - use latest release compiled against Qt6
kimageannotator - for Gwenview (Spectacle no longer uses), not yet updated to Qt 6, drop for now until we will get a release
kcolorpicker - for Gwenview (Spectacle no longer uses), not yet updated to Qt 6, drop for now until we will get a release
