Description ice 2016-09-19 10:35:41 UTC
As it says on the tin: please enable the QtWebEngine component for Qt5.

It's been introduced a good while back, and this is the one developed actively, where QtWebKit supposedly hasn't seen much development since Qt 5.2 (see https://blog.qt.io/blog/2013/09/12/introducing-the-qt-webengine/).

It's also necessary now for cad/qcad. Although this is admittedly easy to patch to use QtWebKit instead (at least for the moment), the way forward does seem to be QtWebEngine.

Hi

As much as we would want to have Qt5WebEngine ourselves (as for example kdepim-16.08 requires it), this will likely take a while.

It's not as simple as just "putting webengine into bsd.qt.mk":
Take a gander at the files directory of www/chromium -- the complexity is similar for Qt5WebEngine. 


We are porting it [there is a WIP-port in our development repository] but there is no ETA.



In short: the port will come, when it's done :P
