Add Qt5 Webkit as a weak dependency on Fedora
Opened this issue ยท 14 comments
It is controversial topic. Some people prefer "batteries included", and some complain "Why do I have to download and install xxx MB of packages just to edit a little file.
I would agree with you and install webkit out of the box.
@rapgro, what do you think about it?
xxx MB?
# dnf remove python3-qt5-webkit

Is this ok [y/N]:
Qt5 Webkit is not recommended.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/enki/blob/master/f/enki.spec#_49
This must be from an old release -- current Enki doesn't use webkit at all but the more modern QtWebEngine. @abitrolly, what release are you running?
Just installed python-qt5.qtwebengine
on Linux Mint 19. It is +135 MB. (bindings + binaries + dependencies for binaries).
Let's make it recommended dependency which is installed by default.

This issue was forgotten to be closed #410 then? I am running 17.03.0 - https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/enki
I just closed #410 -- thanks for pointing that out. It looks like there's not a release with the new non-QWebKit code it in. Perhaps @andreikop can produce one soon. However, code from git master doesn't use webkit.
Fixed with 19.10.0, no?
Yes, If you updated Enki to 19.10.0 the issue is fixed.
I didn't check, but I trust you. )
Hey, @rapgro haven't updated Enki yet (probably).
I hope he'll close the issue when updated.
Sorry for the delay. I'm maintaining the Fedora package in my spare time, so I've to ask you to wait.
Co-maintainers are of course welcome.

nop, I just keep the issues open and assigned to have clear status and avoid re-opening and re-discussing the topic.
