What's the plan for Marble's Qt 6 port?

[Tobias Leupold]

Hi all and esp. hi Marble devs :-)

I just wanted to ask: What's the plan for Marble's Qt 6 port? There's a 
"marble-qt6" branch, but the last commit there dates back to 11/2023 ...

I don't want to nag or bug you! I'm only asking because we at KPhotoAlbum and 
at KGeoTag (which are somehow sister projects, all about photo management) use 
Marble's MarbleWidget. KPhotoAlbum is just being ported to Qt 6, with Marble 
support left out by now, but I can't port KGeoTag before Marble's Qt 6 port is 
ready. That's because the MarbleWidget provides the program's core 
functionality, and it would be quite useless without.

Artix Linux (the one distribution I use) made Plasma 6 the default quite some 
weeks ago already, and Gentoo (the other one I use) made it the default as of 
today. More and more distributions will follow, so the Qt 5 air is getting 
thinner ...

Thanks for all infos and of course big thanks for working on this fine piece 
of software that makes stuff like KGeoTag possible at all in the first place 
:-)

Cheers, Tobias
