QtWebKit was a rendering engine for web content released with Qt until 5.6. It was replaced with QtWebEngine after that.
On that note: we are working on eliminating Python 2 from Factory and libqt5-qtwebengine with chromium are two out of three last packages in Ring 1 which require it. Is there any hope on that front. I see (not very active) https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=941669 , but what is the status of libqt5-qtwebengine? Is the latter dependent on the resolution of the former?
Yes. QtWebEngine itself doesn't need python2, only chromium does. One of the FreeBSD maintainer did some work[1] but it's not ready yet[2] [1] https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports-kde/blob/webengine-python3/www/ qt5-webengine/files/python3-build.diff [2] https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/distributions/2020-September/000865.html
