Hello!

I use this package. I have more than 10 years experience in software
development. If we keep, I can try to port to Qt6.

Hello,

Out of curiosity I had a look and it actually appears upstream already supports qt6. It just needs a bump to 4.12.3.

https://sourceforge.net/p/djvu/djview-git/ci/3c1bae9aa7487f11bc4229cdca420916bb93f85d/

Similarly upstream also appears to be active in supporting qt6 as they pushed to enable qt6 in homebrew packaging.

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/232311

So you are in luck in that this should just be a version and eapi bump.
