Distributing latest Qt 6.6 libraries for Debian via apt-get for non-commercial end users

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Currently it is possible to install the Qt 6.6 libraries on Raspberry Pi (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qt-debian-packages.html) but it requires an enterprise/evaluation account.

      There are also community driven "public" packages (https://packages.debian.org/source/bookworm/qt6-base) but they are behind the release cycle (at the moment of writing Qt 6.4.2).

      When application, for example for the Raspberry Pi, uses the dynamically linked library packages, it is not possible to port the applications to the latest Qt version unless the end-user has a commercial Qt license. Packaging the Qt libraries into the installation package is not a viable option in some use cases.

      It would be useful to provide (a subset of the) Qt 6.6. libraries via apt-get without requiring a commercial Qt account so that end users can easily install Qt 6.6 libraries.
