Hi Release Team,
we would like to request a transition for Qt 6 from 6.4.2 to 6.6.2.
To prepare for this transition, we tried to build as many reverse
dependencies as possible. We encountered some FTBFS, but those failures have
either been fixed since or patches are available to make the packages
build with Qt 6.6.
How many failures are we talking about? Can you make those bugs block this one?
Since this transition needs to go into testing in lockstep, we can't start the
transition until this is in a good shape.
As part of this transition, we also reverted the name changes from the
time_t transition for all libraries in qt6-base except the core library
which will keep the t64-suffix (libqt6core6t64).
We think this is ok since every Qt library depends on libqt6core6t64 and
hence depending on libqt6core6t64 signals t64-compatibility.
Sounds fair to me.
The Ben file for the transition is attached.
Added to the tracker, should appear shortly in [1].
Cheers,
Emilio
