Marcus, Just a minor update. I think I have the qt 6.5. PR ready for a review. I just pushed the logic that selects qt6.2 for the now unsupported versions of macOS ( < 11). I am struggling with qtwebengine some and may remove it and qtwebview (qtwebengine is.a dependency) Just to get this movin

Marcus, I've managed to get the qt6 portfile close to being ready for 6.5.0. All of the qt submodules compile locally on intel. I will be trying on an M1 machine later today. I could use your advice on how to handle the 6.2 issue. I'm hesitant to go too deep down that path before you make any

Marcus, I'd be very happy to collaborate with you on this! Also very happy to have you become the port maintainer. It makes a lot of sense to me to update / correct the qt6 portfile and PG. You have a lot more experience that I borrowed from for the initial qt6 portfile and PG. Happy to have yo

Thanks for working on this. I have also been trying to work on the Qt 6 port. However, I have also been trying to modify the Qt 6 PortGroups as well. There are a few things I wish I had done differently in the Qt5 PG and Portfile. However, with so many different Qt5 ports and dependencies, making

Hi, Just to add, it would also be useful to know a bit on the reasons for dropping the older OSes, what exactly are the tehcnical reasons for it, as within macports we have a number of build options available to us, like newer builds of the compilers which can be used instead of the Xcode ver

Renee, Thanks for the pointers - I'll take a look with fresh eyes tomorrow. I've added a todo list in the PR, as it's very much a WIP - although I have been able to successfully build all subports locally (still have to test and attempt to build on arm). Just a heads up - Qt6.5 seems to be a lit
