http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1053574 Bug ID: 1053574 Summary: KDE:Qt5/libqt5-qtwebkit: Switch to updated QtWebKit Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: 3rd party software Assignee: fabian@ritter-vogt.de Reporter: 9@cirno.systems QA Contact: opensuse-communityscreening@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- See https://github.com/annulen/webkit/wiki QtWebKit in the official Qt tarballs is based on an unmaintained copy of WebKit. This updated version is about 3 years newer and contains even more security fixes from WebKit’s trunk (hence “major” severity). It’s mostly a drop-in replacement with ABI compatibility. It was merged into http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtwebkit.git/ (see dev and 5.212 branches). It was decided to use a separate release schedule from Qt, therefore the version numbers differ (212 refers to it being based on WebKitGTK 2.12.x). Old QtWebKit will not be released anymore. Other distros are taking this step as well: (Fedora) http://lupinix.blogspot.de/2017/06/improving-qtwebkit-security-for-fedora.ht... (Gentoo) https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624404 (Arch Linux) https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2017-June/028895.html (Debian) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=862452 (Void Linux) https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/pull/6876 Notes for OBS: No change to the RAM requirements (8 GiB is just barely enough for 4 build jobs), but it’ll require more disk space. I’d say 15-20 GB in _constraints. Build system switches from qmake to CMake + Ninja. QtDeclarative packaging currently has a minor bug that causes the build to fail because Qt5Quick_PRIVATE_INCLUDE_DIRS is unset in the CMake module (see boo#1053573). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
