+# meta-qt6 is planned to be as much as possible a drop-in replacement
+# for meta-qt5 layer. All the Qt module recipes use the same names as
+# the ones in meta-qt5. This means that both meta-qt5 and meta-qt6
+# layers can not be used at the same and adding both Qt5 and Qt6 to
+# the same image is not possible.
+#
+# This script does a brute force rename for all the module names to make
+# it possible to use both layers at the same time. The new module names
+# get '6' postfix e.g. qtbase6, qtdeclarative6, qtdeclarative6-native.
+#
+# Since both Qt versions deploy files with same names, the install paths
+# for either meta-qt5 or meta-qt6 must be changed.
+#
+# For meta-qt5:
+#
+#   QT_DIR_NAME  = "/qt5"
+#
+# For meta-qt6:
+#
+#   QT6_INSTALL_BINDIR:append = "/qt6"
+#   QT6_INSTALL_DATADIR:append = "/qt6"
+#   QT6_INSTALL_PLUGINSDIR:append = "/qt6"
+#   QT6_INSTALL_QMLDIR:append = "/qt6"
+#   QT6_INSTALL_TRANSLATIONSDIR:append = "/qt6"
+#   EXTRANATIVEPATH:append = "/qt6"
+#
+# configured in a suitable global configuration file.
