@isolde I think this is a false correlation. The problems with the Qt6 version have been fixed, so it's likely you got the licensed version just at the time the problem was fixed.

did someone recognise my comments, that I ran (with the extra packaged version) MasterPDF with QT6 w/o any modifications in ARCH but only by getting a "dedicated" MasterPDF version?

@pgoetz do you plan to update the package to qt6? there's a merge request to move it under masterpdfeditor-qt6 and removing this package

Right, received an email back from the devs, they've said they'll push out a new rebuild with latest Qt soon, for us lot on Arch :D hype hype hype!

@pgoetz I wrote up a workaround for the qt6 issues! Check out the new package:

My rationale was that I could package it such that my package bundles Qt 6.4.2 (and its requisite ICU 72) as a workaround for hardening incompatibilities. The upstream binary was compiled against Qt 6.4.2, which lacks the GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS flag that Qt 6.11+ enforces. Rather than downgrading the system Qt (which would break other packages and user systems), we bundle these compatible versions locally in /opt/masterpdfeditor/lib and ensure the application loads them first via RPATH configuration :>

Fair enough! Not to worry, I have good packaging history, but I can respect that hahah. Will QT6 support get pushed soon? I sent an email regarding the latest issues, built against 6.4.2 is the main issue, 6.11 libs introduced hardening against calls, and it wasn't present in earlier libraries which is why it won't work across versions as such, afaik. Testing with qt6.4.2 libs works fine though, I shall publish my findings in a bit regarding that.

I worked with Code Industry to get the QT6 version working with Arch. I don't plan to upgrade to that until they release a new version though.

@ninetailedtori Once the switch is made to QT6, it's probably a good idea to keep the QT5 version around for a while. Too many versions, though, will just create confusion. Given the recent malware issues in the AUR, I have no interest currently in merging this with a new maintainer.

Hiya all, just pushed the qt6, qt5 (inc. aarch64 supported version), and qt-include (qt5-static) versions to:

Hope you enjoy! This one will merge into masterpdfeditor-qt6 as well, hopefully. @pgoetz you've been requested as a co-maintainer on both!
