Qt6 could be better in SlackBuilds.

The fact is some packages just build with older/archived versions of Qt6, others require recent ones and don't build with the former.

Then, within each Qt6 release, there are the extension&submodules, for sure not all required for our current SlackBuilds apps.


SlackBuilds should not have just one "Qt6" but several, maybe implementing just the minimum libs required, depending to the apps requirements (at maintainer request)

Location should be something like, for example, /opt/Qt6.4.3 ... /opt/Qt6.9.3 ..etc.


Take MuseScore: It is _validated_ against Qt6.9.1 and it needs submodules qtbase, qt5compat, qtnetworkauth, qtscxml, qttools, qtdeclarative and qtsvg, not the whole thing


I believe qt6 has no active maintainer at the moment. Are you volunteering?

LinRs is the new maintiner of Qt6.


If so, remember that building a specialised version with minimum extensions & modules that just suit one of your own pet projects means that it may not be suitable for anything else. A big monster version with everything possible included (like -current?) will be much more useful to SBo users.

Agreed but why taking build time and disk space if it is not required?
