This layer depends on:
URI: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
and optionally:
URI: https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/
The branching of meta-qt6 layer follows Qt branching scheme,
that is dev for the development branch, 6.x for minor stabilization branches,
6.x.y for the release branches and lts-6.x.y for commercial LTS releases.
Each Qt release is tagged either as v6.x.y or v6.x.y-lts
Following table shows the Yocto branches which are used to test each Qt version (x) and any additional Yocto releases that are stated in the LAYERSERIES_COMPAT (c).
| Yocto \ Qt | 6.6 | 6.5 | 6.4 | 6.3 | 6.2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| master | x | x | |||
| mickledore | x | x | x | ||
| langdale | c | c | x | ||
| kirkstone | x | x | x | x | x |

Qt is dual-licensed under commercial and open source licenses.
The license can be selected using the QT_EDITION variable. commercial and
opensource are valid values. The default value is opensource.
For commercial Qt users, the layer provides additional support with LTS (Long Term Support) releases for selected Qt versions and additional Qt modules licensed as commercial-only.
The LTS releases are available in branches named lts-6.x. The source code
for the LTS releases and the commercial Qt modules are only available for
commercial Qt license holders. They can only be built and used if you have
a commercial Qt license and you have set up SSH access to Qt Gerrit (see links below).
The commercial Qt modules are included in the build if the QT_COMMERCIAL_MODULES
variable is set to 1 and you are using a commercial edition of Qt.
QtWebEngine needs at least CMake 3.19, which is available starting from Hardknott. For this reason QtWebEngine is not tested on older releases.
To contribute to this layer you should submit the patches for review using Qt Gerrit.
