Description Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2024-03-10 09:46:28 UTC
Should be ported to Qt6 sooner than later.
Comment 1 Matthias Maier gentoo-dev 2024-03-17 15:00:01 UTC
paraview depends on a number of Qt packages not just qtwebengine...

Currently, USE=webengine implies USE=qt5, which then pulls in all required Qt5 dependencies (including qtwebengine:5).

Paraview itself should support Qt6 now (at least with dev-qt/qt5compat if I remember correctly). In order to update the ebuild I would need to know whether we have a (gentoo) policy how to handle building against qt5 versus qt6? I see a couple of ebuilds going the

 USE="qt5 qt6" # mutually exclusive
 
route. Is that the way forward?
