I'm actually packaging stellarium for Qt6 and now I need QXlsx as its dependency. So my plan will now would be to introduce libqt6qxlsx entirely from QtExcel/QXlsx and given that stellarium seems to be the only one using the 5 version, I'd leave it be and likely eventually drop entirely. Does it make sense to you, Pino? That's probably what you implied just below anyway :). > I see this source is used by stellarium, which is still using Qt 5. > In this case, since a roundtrip to NEW is needed because either the > SONAME bump of a new version or the switch to Qt 6, maybe provide a new > src:qxlsx that builds only for Qt 6. > > Thanks, > -- > Pino Cheers, Tomasz
