Package: libqt5webkit5 Version: 5.7.1+dfsg-1 Severity: wishlist QtWebKit has recently restarted, due to it being faster, lighter and more standard compliant than the Blink-derived QtWebEngine, see e.g.
http://qtwebkit.blogspot.it/2016/08/qtwebkit-im-back.html for the announcement (and comparisons). A “Technology Preview” compatible with Qt 5.8 is available https://github.com/annulen/webkit/releases/tag/qtwebkit-tp5 Would it be possible to package it (as `libqt5webkit-ng5` for example) when Qt gets upgraded? It might also be possible to package the previous Tech Preview 3 https://github.com/annulen/webkit/releases/tag/qtwebkit-tp3 for Qt 5.7. The upgrade would give better HTML5 support to browsers relying on this engine, such as the Otter browser, as shown in the Otter issue about MathML support: https://github.com/OtterBrowser/otter-browser/issues/1358 -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libqt5webkit5 depends on: ii dpkg 1.18.23 ii libc6 2.24-10 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 13.0.6-1+b2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-2 ii libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 1.10.4-1 ii libgstreamer1.0-0 1.10.4-1 ii libicu57 57.1-6 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.1-2 ii libpng16-16 1.6.28-1 ii libqt5core5a [qtbase-abi-5-7-1] 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5gui5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5network5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5opengl5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5printsupport5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5qml5 [qtdeclarative-abi-5-7-0] 5.7.1-2+b2 ii libqt5quick5 5.7.1-2+b2 ii libqt5sql5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libqt5widgets5 5.7.1+dfsg-3+b1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.16.2-3 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-17 ii libwebp6 0.5.2-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-2 ii libxml2 2.9.4+dfsg1-2.2 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 ii libxslt1.1 1.1.29-2.1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 libqt5webkit5 recommends no packages. libqt5webkit5 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
