Re: Dropping Qt4 WebKit

Some notes below...

This supports building with Qt5 since version 5.2 (KDE:Extra has 5.2.1, the 
latest version is 5.7 though).

No idea if it will actually build with he latest versions, but I'll give it a 
try...

Probably not so important IMHO, okular can display .chm files as well.

Hm.
I don't see any dependency on QtWebKit (neither at runtime nor buildtime), and 
I have no idea what it would use/need it for...

If necessary, we could package the git frameworks branch though.
There hasn't been any work since a while, but it seems to work (I never used 
any more advanced features though, I only like to have the icon in the systray 
that shows network traffic).

A WebKit based browser, so no point trying to patch it to work without it...
Probably time to drop it. Although there is a WIP KF5/Qt5 port, it seems dead 
(last commit 3 years ago).

No, that's a fix *for* the Qt5/KF5 port, much more is needed to build it with 
Qt5 in the first place... ;-)

We could package the frameworks branch maybe.
I build it since a while and it starts at least.
I don't know how well it works though, rkward is not something I ever used 
really.

The libQtWebKit-devel BuildRequires seems to be a mistake, it is built with 
Qt5 in Factory since a while:

%if 0%{?suse_version} > 1320
BuildRequires:  python3-qt5-devel
BuildRequires:  pkgconfig(Qt5OpenGL)
BuildRequires:  pkgconfig(Qt5OpenGLExtensions)
BuildRequires:  pkgconfig(Qt5Sql)
BuildRequires:  pkgconfig(Qt5WebKitWidgets)
BuildRequires:  pkgconfig(Qt5Widgets)
%else
BuildRequires:  libqt4-devel
BuildRequires:  python3-qt4-devel
%endif

Could be removed, or at least moved into the %else branch I suppose.

Kind Regards,
Wolfgang
