Hi,
I'm now working on Qt 5.15.5 update in Rawhide. As you probably know, Qt 5.15 is the last major release of Qt 5 and all the development is now focused to Qt 6. This means that all the upcoming releases of Qt 5 are meant to be bugfix releases and therefore no API/ABI changes are expected. For that reason we have decided to no longer depend on the exact version of Qt that apps were built against. We did this with all the applications using Qt's private API and this resulted in ~80 packages that needed to be rebuilt everytime we did just a Qt bugfix update, making the whole update process complicated and long. This change should result in faster and more simple updates allowing us to bring newer Qt sooner as no one was really rushing to do Qt updates before for all the complexity.
There are just a few packages where I'm going to keep this requirement as we want to be sure to not break anything. These are: qt5-qtwebengine, deepin-qt5integration, deepin-qt5platform-plugins, qgnomeplatform, fcitx-qt5, kf5-frameworkintegration, plasma-integration, qt5ct and python-qt5.
If you believe your package should depend on the exact Qt version it was built against then let me know so I can change it back and put it on my list for future rebuilds. Let me know even in case you think your package doesn't need to be rebuilt and I listed it above.

Thank you.
