Although this package has been removed from the official release
packages since Qt5.6.0, it is still available for users to build
it from source. This is useful for platforms without GPU since its
successor (QtWebEngine) requires OpenGL support.

The package now matches the community-based meta-qt5 Yocto layer,
using the exact same revision of the qtwebkit source from github:
https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/commit/e434995a

Here is the project source tree:
https://github.com/qtproject/qtwebkit

All the patches have been pulled from Yocto as well.

Since we are now using the source from the git repository, we need
to create an empty .git/ folder to force the headers re-generation.
https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/blob/jethro/recipes-qt/qt5/qt5.inc#L33

Note that GPLv3 license option has been added with this release.

+Building qtwebkit causes a QA issue such that QtWebPluginProcess and
+QtWebProcess contain bad RPATHs which point into the build location. This fix

+  https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70610
+
+Minor refresh required to apply cleanly to the older webkit sources used

+part of qtwebkit yet ( https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99683 ).

Hello,

Thanks. Looks mostly good, but I have a few questions.

Yes, but I don't see any reference to GPLv3 in your license information
below.

No reference to GPLv3 whatsoever.

Also, LGPLv2+ is not correct I believe, it should be LGPLv2.1+, as the
name of the license file suggests.

Thanks!

  Argh, licensing. A LICENSE.GPLv3 file has been added to the package. Clearly, 
whenever a package is licensed under LGPLv2+, you are allowed to redistribute it 
under GPLv3+. But I don't think that that's very relevant for us.

  However, when you look at the source files, all of them (except for a few 
build tools) are either LGPLv2 or BSD-3c or BSD-2c (a bunch of them are 
dual-licensed, but that's hardly relevant for the package as a whole because not 
all files are dual-licensed). Yes, indeed, the license file is for LGPLv2.1, but 
that doesn't correspond to the actual source code.

  I threw it into the unomaha fossology a couple of days ago [1] so I'm pretty 
sure of my statement :-)

  Hm, taking a second look, there are in fact a few dozen files that are 
LGPLv2.1+, so I guess indeed the concluded license should be LGPLv2.1+.

  Arnout

Yes I forgot to remove this comment, the LICENSE file for GPLv3 has
been added but that's about it.

Ok, should I submit a v5 to fix it or will you make the change directly?

Didn't know that website, that's pretty useful, thanks!

I've fixed the s/LGPLv2+/LGPLv2.1+/ issue in the license information,
and applied. However, it is worth noting that at some point, we will be
forced to remove the packages for software that is unmaintained
upstream. We can keep it for a while, but just like recently libgtk3
was bumped to a version that requires OpenGL because the latest
versions of libgtk3 require it, we will have to do the same for Qt5 if
that's the decision of upstream. People who want something that works
without OpenGL should work with upstream to resolve this.

Thanks!

Thomas
