--- Comment #1 from Kevin Kofler <kevin.kofler at chello.at> ---
Kompare can technically be built against KF6 since May 2023. But it was
disabled for the required dependency libkomparediff2:
https://invent.kde.org/sdk/libkomparediff2/-/commit/2422cb5c16ad7091dc93a8cfb7c6deabe110b8af
because that library is also used in KDevelop, which is not yet ready for KF6.

It should theoretically be possible to build either master with the above
libkomparediff2 commit reverted or the dedicated kf6 branches against KF6, but
you will be building libkomparediff2 with a non-finalized API that is still
subject to change (master has the same API as the KF5 version even if you build
it against KF6, the kf6 branch has some API changes, but it might be getting
some more for KDevelop), and you also need a separate KF5 build of
libkomparediff2 for KDevelop. Those are probably the reasons why your
downstream distribution is still building Kompare against KF5.
