KGeoTag and Qt 5
Currently, KGeoTag can be built against Qt 5 and Qt 6. My initial plan was to support Qt 5 as long as it wouldn’t hurt too much, to stay compatible with older LTS distros. Recently, I got a message about libkexiv2 dropping Qt 5 support. Being a core part of KGeoTag, this would prevent further Qt 5 support for KGeoTag.
However, I then checked the current state, and it seems that the Qt 5 air is thinner as I thought it was meanwhile: Meanwhile, the Qt 5 version of Marble has been removed from Gentoo’s repositories. So, no matter what libkexiv2 does, I can’t build KGeoTag against Qt 5 anymore on my own desktop machine. And I won’t mess around with some VM or whatever to do so.
Well, seems like the Qt 5 times are actually finally over, and faster as I thought they would be. Consequently, I’ll remove Qt 5 support from KGeoTag as well. It was a nice time, I really liked you – but now: farewell, Qt 5!
