Looks reasonable for me, if it can arrive at a consensus within FreeBSD KDE team. In the meantime, I'll lock AppStream pkgs. Another option would be, if possible, FLAVOUR'rize or OPTION'nify devel/appstream-qt for Qt5 and Qt6, defaulted to Qt5 for now. Currently, Qt5 components on FreeBSD are depending upon patches from KDE, starting from commit 6b3bece75ad5a3d03e2751e5cdf78ae8aeb0abf9 [2]. So, IMHO, Qt consumers which affect KDE component would basically need to default to Qt5. Of course, ports that do not affect (impact) with KDE components are free to choose Qt6. :-) [2] https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/devel/qt5-core?id=6b3bece75ad5a3d03e2751e5cdf78ae8aeb0abf9 Thanks in advance!
