January 29, 2026 by Jani Heikkinen

Qt 6.10.2 is now available for download. As a patch release, Qt 6.10.2
doesn’t introduce new features, but it delivers around 300 bug fix,
security improvements, and quality enhancements on top of Qt 6.10.1.
For a full overview of the most notable changes, take a look at the Qt
6.10.2 release notes.

Release notes:
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtreleasenotes.git/about/qt/6.10.2/release-note.md

FreeBSD ports changes:
devel/qt6-base:
- Disable the reduced_relocations feature. Prior to Qt 6.10.0, this was
  only enabled if the compiler was GCC, but we are seeing crashes in
  certain ports such as misc/bibletime, multimedia/obs-studio, and
  net-p2p/qbittorrent. [1]
- Rebase patches

graphics/qt6-wayland:
- Add a pre-configure check to test if devel/qt6-base was built with
  the WAYLAND option. This module cannot be built if the WAYLAND
  option is disabled in devel/qt6-base. [2]

www/qt6-webengine:
- Patched with security patches up to Chromium version: 144.0.7559.109
- Define NODEJS_EXECUTEABLE in the configure environment after [3]. This
  is forward porting for the post-release security rollup and not part of
  the official release. Future releases [3][4] will likely require this.
- Remove upstreamed patches

x11-toolkits/qt6-declarative
- Remove upsteamed patches

The Qt python bindings have also been updated along with their
respective tools.

PySide6: Update to 6.10.2

I'm not giving the usual fanfare. This has been an absolute slog.

Ports changes:
qt6-base: Added WAYLAND option. This is congruent with the X11 option.
          We really don't recommend disabling this option, but it is
          available for advanced users who don't want wayland for
          whatever reason.

PySide6: Update to 6.7.3

New port: devel/qt6-grpc

Qt GRPC is the client-side implementation that, together with the Qt
Protobuf module, allows the definition of messages and services in
.proto files, which then use the provided code generators to generate
client code that allows the access for fields and gRPC services in the
Qt framework. The code generated by Qt GRPC enables the client-side to
communicate with a gRPC server (regardless of whether the server uses
Qt) by sending calls or streaming messages.

Relase Notes: https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6.4-released

Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.

This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Approved by:		portmgr (tcberner)

It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.

Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.

There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

This commit implements such a proposal and moves one of the WWW: entries
of each pkg-descr file into the respective port's Makefile. A heuristic
attempts to identify the most relevant URL in case there is more than
one WWW: entry in some pkg-descr file. URLs that are not moved into the
Makefile are prefixed with "See also:" instead of "WWW:" in the pkg-descr
files in order to preserve them.

There are 1256 ports that had no WWW: entries in pkg-descr files. These
ports will not be touched in this commit.

The portlint port has been adjusted to expect a WWW entry in each port
Makefile, and to flag any remaining "WWW:" lines in pkg-descr files as
deprecated.

Approved by:		portmgr (tcberner)

This change brings in the new Qt6 stack, which might still be a bit
in flux in the ports tree for a while.

Obtained from https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports-kde/tree/qt6-6.3.1
with commits from lbartoletti and myself.
