Do we need the most recent qt6 for 15.0? Just curious.

Currently in Slint we have llvm 17.0.6, needed by LXQt 2.2.0 (thanks for Frank
Honolka for the packaging) and a dependency of audacious 4.5.1 and its plugins.
Note: llvm13-compat from Slackware is used as build dependency of llvm here.

Cheers,
