F24 Self Contained Change: QtWebEngine
by Jan Kurik 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

= Proposed Self Contained Change: QtWebEngine = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/QtWebEngine Change owner(s): * Kevin Kofler <Kevin [AT] tigcc [DOT] ticalc [DOT] org> QtWebEngine will be packaged for Fedora, initially at version 5.6. In addition, the QupZilla browser will be upgraded to the QtWebEngine-based QupZilla 2. == Detailed Description == QtWebEngine is the new web engine by the Qt project based on Chromium, effectively replacing QtWebKit, though it is not a drop-in replacement. QtWebEngine will be available in Fedora as an additional option. QtWebKit will remain available for the foreseeable future, and thus applications currently using QtWebKit are not impacted by this change, unless and until upstream ports them to QtWebEngine. The version initially packaged for Fedora 24 will be QtWebEngine 5.6. QupZilla is a modern, lightweight and fast browser written in Qt. QupZilla 1 was based on QtWebKit. It will be replaced by the new QupZilla 2, which is instead based on QtWebEngine. == Scope == Proposal owners: * Package QtWebEngine 5.6.0 beta, based on Helio Castro's initial work: DONE * Remove patent-encumbered codecs from the upstream tarball using the scripts from spot's Chromium packages: DONE * Get qt5-qtwebengine through review [1]: DONE * Unbundle all libraries that can be unbundled: DONE * Make the package run on i686 machines without SSE2, while degrading performance for SSE2-enabled machines as little as possible: DONE [2] * (Nice-to-have: Look into backporting Samsung's Chromium GStreamer backend [3]: TODO) * Package a QupZilla 1.9.99 snapshot: DONE [4] * Upgrade the qupzilla package in Rawhide to 1.9.99 / 2.0.0: TODO Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) Release engineering: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change) Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic

by Jan Kurik 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Hi Fedora people, let me inform you about changes in Fedora 24 schedule. There is a will to accommodate GCC6 compiler in F24 and use it to compile all the binaries delivered in this release [1]. To make this happen we need to do mass rebuild which was not originally scheduled for this release. On FESCo meeting the last Friday has been decided to go on with GCC6 and do the mass rebuild. This causes slip of F24 schedule for 2 weeks. Please check the updated schedule at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/24/Schedule#Key_Milestones . Dates for the most important milestones follows: 2016-03-15 Alpha Release 2016-04-26 Beta Release 2016-05-31 Fedora 24 Final Release (GA) Regards, Jan [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GCC6 [2] https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1519 -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic
