This is obviously driven by meta-qt6 and its 'special' branching strategy (a branch per qt release rather than per yocto relase as is standard practice in almost any other layer): https://code.qt.io/cgit/yocto/meta-qt6.git/about/ I've wanted to tell this directly to Qt people for a while, and now is the chance: fix your branches to follow yocto releases. And provide multiple qt versions in all of them, selectable via PREFERRED_VERSION. Alex
