Details

Description: The Fcitx5 wiki page is currently [1] unclear as to which Qt versions the fcitx5-qt package provides for. In a little research I can see that:

  • Upstream docs say that Qt4 and Qt5 are enabled by default [2]; then, the PKGBUILD explicitly disables Qt4 and enables Qt6.
  • The package requires Qt6 at compile time, and Qt5 at compile time and runtime.
  • The package includes Qt5 and Qt6 files.

Having to go off of these details is non-ideal, though. I feel it would be useful to make this explicit in the package description. Thanks!
