Well, it is slightly more complicated, as there is a process to get patches backported (for all of the Qt 5 modules), and it does happen, but that process can be somewhat convoluted due to "reasons". As I recall (and I could easily be wrong about the current status), qt6-qtwebengine has not yet been packaged/built for Fedora, which I suspect is at least partially due to the same reasons that it can be hard to package chromium (stripping, debundling, etc.), and AFAIK no project yet requires it (and as it requires resources to maintain once made available, I suspect there is negative motivation to make it available until it is actually needed). Even when qt6-qtwebeingine is packaged, moving to Qt 6.x from Qt 5.y for a project can be easy or hard, depending on what the project is doing, but that is a question for those upstream projects that are using Qt. I would suggest you directly ask those projects what their intentions and schedules are. I suspect most have a plan for moving forward to Qt 6,x, but it may not be sufficiently resourced to happen in the near term. Perhaps the largest project (that I am aware of) would be KDE, and they have a plan, and are working on it, but AFAIK have no specific targets for completion (and for that project, there is a lot of work to accomplish). Realistically, all of qt5 (including the webengine) is likely to be part of Fedora for quite some time, just as qt4 libraries are still available, as some package still uses them. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
