Update my OpenSSL-enabled version to 5.13.1: https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs/tree/update/qt5/qt5
I configured it now to use system zlib, libpng and libjpeg. This works nicely with your packages for these libraries. I also tested making and running an APK with CMake/androiddeployqt.
For libjpeg a patch is required to enable pkg-config detection (see link above). I guess it can be upsteamed: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/273179/1/src/gui/configure.json
Maybe it makes also sense to upstream the other patches?

I'll drop this package, I been thinking and there are a lot of strong reasons not to waste any time maintaining it.
KDE doesn't provide an easy way to download the entire Qt source code in a single package, like in the official Qt releases.
Also, KDE doesn't provides tagged versions, I've to keep tracking manually the latest commits, or converting it to a git package.
It will require to split this package into 47x4 packages, 47 Qt modules and 4 architectures to maintain, that's 188 packages to maintain, absurd!
Cloning a git repository is slower than just downloading a source package file, making the build even much slower and painful.
Is a lot of work for something that will be dead in 1 year or 2 at most.
Good luck to the one that will step up to take care of this monstrosity, to the rest of developers, don't be lazy and consider switching to Qt6.
