Description
The initial Qt6 port (and updates to newer versions I committed) had the supported versions incorrectly listed. That issue was corrected a while ago, but there are users who had the
qt6
port installed on a system that is no longer supported. So instead they should install theqt67
orqt64
(sub)ports.To provide an "upgrade" path for these situations I added some logic to the Portfiles that will set
replaced_by
on systems that no longer support the versions provided by theqt6
orqt67
ports.Type(s)
Tested on
macOS x.y
Xcode x.y / Command Line Tools x.y.z
Verification
Have you
port lint
?sudo port test
?sudo port -vst install
?
