I'm one of the Sigil maintainers and I wanted to make you aware that we're planning to officially move to distributing Sigil with Qt6 in our platform releases beginning with the next release. So I wanted to encourage the Arch Sigil package maintainer to do the same. They already do so with our Sigil companion program "PageEdit." Doing so should be as simple as adding -DUSE_QT6=1 to a Qt6 aware CMAKE config. More here: https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/blob/master/docs/Building_on_Linux_with_Qt6.md

Feel free to do so any time you like. We've been testing Sigil with Qt6 for some time. Thanks.

Also note that the current python-pyqt5 and python-pyqt5-webengine optional recommendations (for plugins) will NOT change to python-pyqt6 starting with our first Sigil Qt6 release. Sigil will use PySide6 for plugins from now on. So the optional recommendation for Sigil built with Qt6 should reflect that. Thanks

Thanks for the information on this! I'll look into getting it implemented.

Starting with Sigil 2.0.2 Sigil's cmake config will assume that Qt6 is going to be used on all platforms. Those who wish to build with Qt5 will need to configure with -DUSE_QT5=1.
