Comment 1 Niels De Graef 2023-05-11 10:16:24 UTC
Hi, thanks for filing a ticket.

I don't think it makes sense to add this package for several reasons:

* There's no support for Qt6 in RHEL 8 (or RHEL 9 even). Especially Qt 6.5, which only got released a month ago.
* We don't plan on adding any new 32-bit packages
* With RHEL 8 now moving onto its final releases, major feature requests (like adding support for a newer Qt version) would ideally be directed to RHEL 9 or even RHEL 10 instead.

In general, I think the question is rather _why_ this is needed. If you (or a vendor) are trying to build/use Qt 6.5, it will already fall outside of Red Hat support. If a separate vendor is doing this work, they're probably the best point of contact to package this dependency too.

Bug is being closed, EPEL bug was opened for library inclusion so this one is no longer needed.
