#62982: qt6: add port(s) for new Qt version 6
---------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: JDLH | Owner: (none)
Type: request | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.7.1
Keywords: | Port: qt6 qt5 qt4
---------------------+-------------------------
MacPorts has several ports qt5* and qt4*, for the version 5.x and 4.x of
the '''Qt''' application development tool kit. The Qt upstream developers
have released versions 6.2 and 6.1 of Qt. I would like to be able to use
Qt version 6 for some apps which depend on it, for example '''freeciv'''.
Thus I would appreciate a set of qt6* ports which parallel the existing
qt5* and qt4* ports.
Supporting information:

Given the large number of subports in `port info qt5`, I am guessing that
making a Qt6 port might be quite a bit of work. I don't know to what
extent it is similar enough to Qt5 that one can save effort by reusing
parts of the Qt5 port.
Sorry if this ticket is redundant. I don't see any "qt6" tickets when I
search this Trac.
