Will MakeMKV be ported from Qt5 to Qt6?

[VivaErBetis]

Hello,

I'm using MakeMKV in Ubuntu 25.10 via the fantastic PPA created and maintained by @hjmooses:
https://launchpad.net/~heyarje/+archive ... kemkv-beta

Ubuntu is planning to remove all Qt5 libraries and support in it's next release 26.04 LTS (April 2026):
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/removing ... -lts/49296

As MakeMKV uses Qt5 it means that there will be no "official" way to create native packages for newer Ubuntu versions.

Will MakeMKV be ported from Qt5 to Qt6?

I've read that there is a "quick" way of porting Qt5 to Qt6 (or that's what they said) using a "Qt5Compat Library":

Thank you very much and best regards.

Why wouldn't it be? I'm not a C++ guru but taking something like MakeMKV GUI from qt5 to qt6 should be extremely elementary. If you look at the code it's not very complex, it's very C heavy with little C++ and very little of a class based approach (baring which is required by Qt).

Sadly, I think due to commercial reasons, there will never be a "contributeable" repository were people can submit new features.
