Dropping qt5-webkit because it looks too complicated to fix. It was deprecated years ago, and the project keeping it alive quit ~2020.

@thotypous The maintainer of rstudio-desktop has found a workaround for the issues. I'll add it back under the Paulo section.

• csxcad-git

This one is specially important since we use openems-git for some classes, which depends on csxcad-git.

Is there something we can do about rstudio-desktop? It's actually pretty important for the UFSCar arch image

Interfere applied to Octopi thanks @dr460nf1r3 🎉 chaotic-aur/interfere@ce4d68b

openems-git and csxcad-git don't use Qt/webkit. Switched them to custom pkgbuilds via interfere.

Related qcsxcad-git and appcsxcad-git do use Qt.

ksmoothdock is on chopping block. Leaving it for now.

@SteavenGamerYT Programs and packages that are not updated to Qt6 are basically unmaintained. There has not been a systematic purge of Qt5 packages. Most packages that have been dropped so far had other problems, like failure on rebuild.

octopi is now on this list due to the dependency qt-sudo.
Edit: no longer an issue

This is a debacle 👀 though the AUR page provides this PKGBUILD: https://github.com/yochananmarqos/pkgbuilds/blob/master/qt-sudo/PKGBUILD

There's no rush to drop packages. There's still time for maintainers to update.

The maintainer of octopi has been working on it.

qt5-webkit is ultimately doomed though. Will have to see which dependents can be updated to Qt6.

• csxcad-git # doesn't use Qt
