**This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux.**
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process,
proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback.
This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora
Engineering Steering Committee.

== Summary ==

With KDE being on Qt6 since F40 and lxqt also being on qt6 since F41, we
would like to drop the libreoffice-KF5 subpackage which provides
integration against Qt5.

== Detailed Description ==

With KDE being on Qt6 since F40 and lxqt also being on qt6 since F41, we
would like to drop the libreoffice-KF5 subpackage which provides
integration against Qt5.

The libreoffice-kf6 subpackage is already set as a supplement of
libreoffice-core and plasma-workspace since F40. This change will drop the
libreoffice-kf5 subpackage entirely and make the libreoffice-kf6 obsolete
the old package.

== Feedback ==

This has been requested specifically in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2426728

== Benefit to Fedora ==



== Scope ==

* Proposal owners:
Adjust the specfile. The libreoffice-kf* integration subpackages are
already under conditional.
* Other developers:
None.
* Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issues #Releng issue
number]
None.
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
None.
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
None.
* Alignment with the Fedora Strategy:
None.

== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==

On upgrade the libreoffice-kf5 should be removed (if it was previously
installed).

On new installations, the libreoffice-kf6 package should be installed when
the DE is plasma-workspace.

== Early Testing (Optional) ==

Do you require 'QA Blueprint' support? N

== How To Test ==

Upgrade/install libreoffice and check, for example, it uses the open/save
dialogs from KF6/Qt6.

== User Experience ==

No change should be noticed on upgrades from a recent Fedora version.

When upgrading from F<40, users will notice LO uses KF6/Qt6 windows dialogs.

== Dependencies ==



== Contingency Plan ==

* Contingency mechanism: (What to do?  Who will do it?) N/A (not a System
Wide Change)
* Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change), Yes/No

== Documentation ==

N/A (not a System Wide Change)

== Release Notes ==
