Which software packages? If they're in FreeBSD, that should have been noted at 
the time of Qt4 removal. 

The latest SVN revision (SVN has been deprecated by upstream for sources for 
several years) is not released; the last qimageblitz release upstream was in 
2010, and there has never been an actual Qt5-based release from the KDE 
community. Judging from the repo description, it was intended to be an interim 
library in 2009, and it's one that has terribly outlived its purpose.

Any Qt5-based applicating using this has been betting on unreleased software 
for years now. If anything, this indicates that there's no desire to actually 
maintain it anywhere and consumers aren't willing to maintain or fork or 
package.

Please don't set MAINTAINER to kde@ .. we don't want it.

That was a KDE4-era collection, and is no longer supported upstream.

There are some Linux distro's that have a "qimageblitz 0.1.0", which is their 
fantasy release number for the-thing-after-0.0.6. It's as good as any; better 
than PORTEPOCH and an SVN revision as far as I'm concerned.
