The new versions of frameworks, plasma and gear presumably all start with '6'. Following Fedora versioning for snapshots [0] gives this:

Like Jonathan said, versioning of snapshots is a downstream thing. But if I understand the ^ operator correctly, doesn't sort 6^20230.. *after* 6.0?

Indeed, it should be 6~20230627git5328c27e3 or 6.0.0~20230627git5328c27e3.

And no, new versions of Gear won't start with '6'. They follow a different versioning scheme and some projects will probably switch to Qt6/KF6 with 22.12, some with 23.04 or later.

I guess you mean 23.12 and 24.04. Time flies.



What is the best way to override the version numbers of KF6?
  cmake -DPROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR=6 ?


Best regards,

Then for gear it makes sense to use $current^20230627git5328c27e3 e.g. 23.04^20230627git5328c27e3. Since there is no suffix support this would falsely indicate that it's already version 6 instead of a snapshot working towards it.
