(In reply to Martin Birgmeier from comment #7)
Maybe Linux versions of legacy drivers could be built / installed with some
fixes on Linux packagers (i.e., srpm for rpm) side, as we are doing on FreeBSD
ports side.

Official tarballs for Production / New Feature and Beta Branch sometimes stops
building successfully on ports builder running on main (aka -Current) usually
because KPI/KBI changes.

As nvidia doesn't support main because of this, x11/nvidia-driver has patch
(actually is a sed scripts to modify extracted source) to kill the check, so we
can use it on main, but it also mean we need to fix the breakage ourselves.

So we have a bunch of conditionals and patches, and once any of the fixes (BSD
licensed, so nvidia can incorporate it freely without limitations) are
incorporated upstream (nvidia), the patches surely conflicts with official
tarball, thus, need fixing conditionals.

This also applies to legacy branches. Maybe this kind of things are happening
on Linux side, I assume.

Anyway, as the problem doesn't seem to be FreeBSD specific, fixes should be
done on KDE side (upstream and/or FreeBSD KDE team) or Qt6 side.
