Hi! With upstream Qt5 support being EOL, we should be switching packages to Qt6. Looking briefly into opencv, it seems like it should have already Qt6 support (?), and it might be a matter of changing -DWITH_QT=5 to =6? But I've not tried, nor I've checked whether this would affect any exposed ABI. Thanks, Guillem
Hi! I've seen the transition to the 5.0 library in experimental, with a SOVERSION bump. If switching to Qt6 is possible, I think now would be the ideal time, to avoid any potential ABI break in the future, or being unable to do the switch due to that. If it does not break ABI, then I guess it's less urgent and the Qt6 switch could be done later on though. Thanks, Guillem
