Hi Jean, Thank you for your work and for bringing this up. We discussed your proposal at the recent PSC meeting. We agreed that while fixing these Qt6-related unit tests is indeed essential, there’s no need for a special, separate funding initiative. Instead, we consider this effort to fall within the scope of the regular bug fixing round (starting next week), albeit with an extended timeframe and budget allocation given the scale of the Qt6 transition.
Andreas will note this in the mail to the devs participating in the bugfixing round.
