Re: git: 49eaa88d7d8f - main - net-im/libquotient: flavorize port for Qt 5 and Qt 6

Moin moin

The KDE world will slowly move to be Qt6 based -- however, there is
certainly a longer transition phase again (like when it moved from Qt4
to Qt5).
For this reason, it is helpful to have versions based on both
toolkits, so that we can manage this transition smoothly.

So for most flavored libraries in the KDE-toolchain it won't really be
a user choice but rather just a dependency resolution: e.g. "neochat
has been ported to Qt6, so it requires Qt6 dependencies" /  "foobar is
still Qt5 so it requires the Qt5 dependency".
