Dan Horák: upstreaming qt6-qtwebengine and initial rebase to 6.9
The good news first, upstreaming of my ppc64le port of the Fedora qt6-qtwebengine has started in this PR. Upstreaming in this context is going from my forked dist-git and my copr repository to the official Fedora package.As part of the upstreaming I have also tried to rebase the ppc64le port to a newer qtwebengine, to the version 6.9 that's still under development, using my own procedure documented in a previous blog. And it worked pretty well I think.

Barry Kauler ☛ latest Leafpad compiled in OE
EasyOS has the Leafpad text editor. This is a gtk+2 application and is a dead project. Easy has version 0.8.15, which was released in 2008. It has a bug; the "Find Next" menu item doesn't work.
I checked, there is version 0.8.19, released in 2022. So, have compiled that in OpenEmbedded, and it will be in the next release of Easy Scarthgap. Don't know if it fixes the bug; hope so.
