Doesn't aqtinstall work for Qt on Fedora (and most platforms (edit)maybe(/edit) except Windows)?

I have only searched for a replacement package in Fedora's standard repos. aqtinstall seems not to be in there, but qt5-qtbase is.

We use it for the MacOS build -- I wondered if it would save platform-specifics having to be written for the other platforms but it seems the autobuild is very platform specific still...

I can't comment regarding Mac, but I don't think we should require additional packets or scripts (?) on Linux where dependencies can be installed by the native package managers (apt, dnf, yum, etc.). At least it should be like this for users building from source and distributors. As such, it would be the best check for us to do the same in autobuild.

I always thought aqtinstall was just a way of being able to install a specific version of Qt into a build environment for Mac only, so that the installation package produced would contain the version of Qt runtimes required for backward compatibility. For Fedora/CentOS/Debian/Ubuntu, there is no need for aqtinstall, because we just use the packaged version of Qt provided by the distro.
