I've compiled the following aps
qt5_5.15.2, qt5ct_1.1 & python3-pyqt5_5.12.2 -- for fd64-811 [Work in Progress]

but there are some issues at the momment. Here are the download links:

qt5-5.15.2-x86_64-1.txz (only for test setups)
python3-pyqt5-5.15.2-x86_64-1.txz (only for test setups)
qt5ct-1.1-x86_64-1.txz (only for test setups)

requires:
openssl-1.1.1h-x86_64-1.txz (see thread)

Issues:
1. qt5 requires the file (qt.conf) be added to /opt/qt5/bin (see post)
2. python3-pyqt5 requires the following symlink:

cd /opt/qt-5.15.2/lib64/plugins
ln -s platforms /usr/bin/platforms #consider using the -f option for "force"

The qt5icon icon theme may break and this will mess up the task bar. Not sure yet how to fix this. I also currently have an issue with sound that is likely not related.

So with installing all of the above packages, I was able to get the latest maestral[gui] working. However, the icon doesn't show on the tray. You can still right click on the blank space to use the tray ap. Starting maestral produces the following error:

QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set

The tray and submenus in the lxgt/openbox desktop setup seem to have issues. However, the icons for the tray and menu on jwm work without issue. Fatdog64 lets you swith to the jwm tray.

BTW, to avoid making these changes and older version of maestral[gui] can be installed.

also as noted above, there is a potential sound issue but I don't thin it's related to these packages.
