master is already able to be built with Qt6 and even dropped qt5compat:6 dependency already.

Argh, I had one in local that I didn't push (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/51f0f72f3140d7e354e7bfcb820f788a05e061b7). But I think you need more a maintainer than an ebuild
Yes, this should really get a dedicated maintainer actually using it themselves. That person has a few weeks left to step up.
After looking into and putting some effort into this, the qtwebengine dep can be dropped entirely. I've just built a bibletime-9999 using QT5, NO webengine installed or required. (uploading ebuild as an attachment to follow) Browsing the codebase, returns no more mention of webengine or webkit. I can't locate what feature requested webengine, its a regular desktop app. Also the cmake build supports passing -DUSE_QT6=ON to turn it all into a QT6 program (as shown in the user ebuild Nicolas just linked) we can save this, and I can do more if needed.
Created attachment 917403 [details] 9999 ebuild working with QT5 without webengine 1) this version changed a couple DEPENDS, no webengine no webchannel. QA requested to add declarative. cmake file seems to request quickcontrols. 2) also had to update the .desktop cache. 3) Docs - Changelog no longer exists.

We can probably keep it if you can give it a good polish now and hopefully put it in good stead for the future.
@genBTC cherry-pick that one without webengine+xdg+locales https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/8ce89ed7567d Otherwise I can maintain it for guru.
(In reply to genBTC from comment #4) > we can save this, and I can do more if needed. Would you like to proxy-maintain it?
BibleTime 3.1.0 RC2 has just been released with Qt6 support: https://github.com/bibletime/bibletime/releases/tag/v3.1.0_rc2
When do you plan to release the final version? It would be annoying to treeclean.
We're planning to release the final version before treecleaning. :) I'm currently aiming for approximately February 17th, but it would help if you can give me a more accurate deadline to dodge treecleaning.
Please, do not rush a release for gentoo. Andreas, could you revert last rite ? : - package finally don't required qtwebengine - upstream does efforts and have repo (see https://cgit.gentoo.org/user/bibletime.git/ and https://github.com/bibletime/bibletime/issues/491) Jaak Ristioja, why not be proxy-maintainer of your project ? Furthermore, bugs from gentoo are still useful for upstream.
last-rites are seldomly set in stone. this one was triggered by qtwebengine:5 removal, but really emphasizes on this package getting a dedicated maintainer.
(In reply to genBTC from comment #4) > Also the cmake build supports passing -DUSE_QT6=ON to turn it all into a QT6 > program (as shown in the user ebuild Nicolas just linked) If it does that, then your ebuild should have been Qt6 based, so it could have been used for 3.1.0 RC2. ;)
Right, ill work on the QT6 ebuild now that rc's are here.
Created attachment 918857 [details] bibletime-3.1.0_rc2.ebuild -DUSE_QT6=on bibletime-3.1.0_rc2.ebuild latest RC builds successfully, QT6, no webengine, deps double checked, l10n doc support contribution from Nicolas.
In the issue over on github, the dev jaak raised two final bugs: https://github.com/bibletime/bibletime/issues/491#issuecomment-2651535446 and By RC3 both will be fixed. They are maintaining their own overlay with the ebuild so they probably know best, https://cgit.gentoo.org/user/bibletime.git/tree/app-text/bibletime
They've been asked above if they want to proxy-maintain it (hopefully they do).
Regarding the potential procedure: Last-rites can be stopped, but I'd suggest leaving the mask in place, just version restricted, and simply add an ~arch only Qt6 bump.

Yes, I'm thankful for the bug reports. Unfortunately, as I'm already struggling to maintain BibleTime, I can't commit to being a proxy-maintainer at this time.

To make things easier for you, I hope to release RC3 in the next few hours. > They are maintaining their own overlay with the ebuild so they probably know > best, > https://cgit.gentoo.org/user/bibletime.git/tree/app-text/bibletime Nah, my ebuilds are not as good as yours. However, I think the fix to the *.desktop file included in your ebuild is incorrect. The Freedesktop.org Desktop Menu Specification (version 1.1) section 3 states[1]: > Desktop entries should list all categories that clearly apply. They should not list categories that only vaguely or possibly apply, because the user will end up seeing the same desktop entry in a half-dozen places. In my opinion the new categories added by your ebuild apply vaguely. According to appendix A.2 [2] such "Related Categories" are only "suggested" to be used in conjunction with the respective "Additional Category".

genBTC, you have not yet answered THE question ;-). I just launched BT and found a dual display (or more) of old translations, with the Bailly dictionnary add-on. This application has a new interest for me as study support (translation old greek). Can be the proxy-maintainer if you agree.
