🆕 [Snap] qBittorrent Desktop
Beta version for ARM64 and RISCV64
Preview of qBittorrent 5.1.2 in special version with QT6 and display libraries integrated.
Snap published in the 'beta' channel (still the regular snap for AMD64) and is ~130MB
First step for a more advanced packaging.

To update:
sudo snap refresh qbittorrent-desktop-tak --beta
To install:
sudo snap install qbittorrent-desktop-tak --beta
Context:
- KDE teams don't want to support ARM64 and RISCV64 for their snap SDK's and runtimes
First step done:
- Build all in one snap: QT6 + display + qBittorrent instead of using qBittorrent w/ 'kde-neon-6' interface
ToDo:
- Make a QT6 SDK snap for snaps' building
- Make a QT6 runtime snap (independent = decreased size, faster compiling, can be reused by other snaps)
- Manage qBittorrent's snap to work with the SDK and the runtime 😄
On Launchpad farm, build time:
ARM64: 45min
RISCV64: 7h
