qt5-qtwebengine available

[Dan Horák]

Hi all,

thanks to the work the community does on porting the Chromium browser
to ppc64le, we can have also the qt5-qtwebengine library available.
Currently there are ~20 packages that are excluded on ppc64le due the
unavailability of the webengine.

My "talos" COPR repository [1] contains now the main qt5-qtwebengine
package, pyqtwebengine bindings for Python and also the qmapshack app.
Building calibre fails in a test, investigating now. If there are other
apps you would like to be made available, let me know.

The plan is to merge the ppc64le support into the official Fedora rpms,
but it can take some time and depends on support from the maintainers of
the QT stack.

calibre is now also available (F-31+), the test failure was caused by a
missing patch in qt5-qtwebengine.

Hello Dan,

did you do any progress in building Calibre?
Psensor would also be cool to have in the repository.

Regards

I have not, but I have a rebase of the ppc64le enabled qtwebengine
quite high on my to-do list (after updating my system to F-32 I'm
without qtwebengine :-)). We are also limited by the fact, that the
copr buildsystem runs without ppc64le builders until the Fedora
datacenter move is finished. Then we can talk about adding more enabled
apps.

Hi Dan,

thank you for this information.

qt5-qtwebengine available again

[Dan Horák]

Hi all,

as the subject says the qt5twebengine library is available again, in my
"talos" COPR repository. I hope this time I will be able to keep up
with the upstream QtWebEngine development, so it won't be lost in the
future. I will be adding other QtWebEngine based/using packages to the
mentioned repo. Qt6 based WebEngine is not available in Fedora yet at
all.
