MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-qt5-base-dynamic [2]: Unused Qt5 base package from 2020, built with dynamic OpenGL backend support, with ANGLE as a fallback (in case OpenGL-proper fails to initialize). Last user comment is from 2020, and in June 2023, maintainer @Martchus has verified that they also don't need this anymore. ANGLE support has been deprecated by upstream Qt Company, with Qt5 being EOL. Qt6 doesn't support ANGLE. ANGLE is not actually needed for OpenGL runtime support by Qt5. Safe to delete this package, as no one else chimed in about their need for it. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mingw-w64-qt5-base-dynamic/
