[Bug 283794] audio/amarok: KDE music player 3.2.0, QT6

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283794

--- Comment #1 from Rainer Hurling <rhurlin@FreeBSD.org> ---
It's fantastic that you are bringing Amarok for FreeBSD back to life! This
player combines many good features that no one else offers in this bundle.

I would like to suggest that your port can also be built with Qt5/KDE5 (as a
flavor). Two arguments for this:

- Under FreeBSD it is not possible to install a complete KDE5 and KDE6 at the
same time, as far as I know. This leads to collisions for a number of KDE
applications. And many users are dependent on KDE5 for the time being, as
numerous other applications only run with it.

- The KDE Amarok project itself points out in its blog that support for KDE6 is
still experimental[1]. Full support for all Amarok functionalities is currently
only available for KDE5.


If you agree with these arguments, would you be willing to offer both
(KDE5/KDE6) via flavors (or options) and set KDE5 as default? If desired, I can
help with the porting.

And one more thought: Probably it would be good to revive the former Amarok
port audio/amarok v2.9.71[2] and use it as a basis for a diff? Then there would
be a history of the port commits ...
