Hi everyone,
it's about time now to drop Qt4 WebKit, before it has a chance to get into Leap 15.0. It received its last "major" update in 2013 and is now for over three years without security-related fixes or actually any kind of bugfixes.
For now it'll only be removed from openSUSE:Leap:15.0 and :Factory and stay in the devel prj (KDE:Qt) as long as it builds fine. This is mostly due to some third-party applications that still need it, like the old skype, for example.
A lot of kdelibs4-based applications are in the dependency tree, but with some patches we were able to sever the close tie between kdelibs4/kdebase4 and WebKit. There are some packages which will not build anymore after the drop, so if you really need them, you'll have to patch them to not use Qt4 WebKit. If this does not happen before KDE:Applications 17.12 lands in Factory, those packages will not be installable anymore.
The list is:
- FreeCAD (reported as boo#1070901) - bibletime - kchmviewer - knemo - mathgl - {perl,ruby,mono}-qt4 - {python,python3}-kde4 - rekonq - rkward - tomahawk - vacuum-im - vtk
Cheers, Fabian
Scribus 1.4.6 also has a dependency on this. It is used for the help browser. We have 1.4.7 in the works and I will submit this as a maintenance release into Leap. If wanted, this can go into SLE 12 SP4 or maintenance for SP3 My plan: Move to Scribus 1.5.x branch before Leap 15 is out. !.5.x is Qt5 and getting close to becoming 1.6 (stable) The 1.5.x branch is pretty stable and we're not planning on adding a lot of new functionality.
