Why are all the packages for making QT apps use GTK style gone?

This document ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unifor … plications ) mentions the following packages to make QT apps use GTK styles under Gnome.

    adwaita-qt5  adwaita-qt6  qgnomeplatform-qt5  qgnomeplatform-qt6

But they are all recently gone from the repository, and the document says "broken link". If I remove those packages, QT5/6 become white under Gnome's dark mode. Are you going to update the document to provide a newer way to styling QT apps?

QGnomePlatform is no longer maintained upstream, see https://github.com/FedoraQt/QGnomePlatf … /tag/0.9.2

The repo points to alternatives.

Kinda sucks that the packages were removed immediately rather than when the alternative is ready.

The PKGBUILDs are still around for you to build these packages of you need them.

The wiki is open for everyone. Since you're the one who found the outdated parts, perhaps you'd like to contribute.
