F24 Self Contained Change: QtWebEngine
by Jan Kurik
= 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

libical soname version bump in the rawhide the next week
by Milan Crha
Hello,
I will update libical to version 2.0 the next week in rawhide. The
change is source compatible, but not binary compatible, as they call
it, thus the soname version had been bumped as well.
I'll take care of the packages I have commit rights for.
Bye,
Milan
