qtwebkit and openshot

Hello! I had determined here https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-02/msg00275.html <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-02/msg00275.html>  that qtwebkit is necessary for openshot that I use.

Qtwebkit takes much time, over 10 hours, compiling almost every time I run `guix pull && guix package -u`, every week I do it.

Is there any way to solve this problem with wasting time?

May be I can use openshot without qtwebkit? Or may be I can update packages without updating qtwebkit? Or may be guix.info will compile qtwebkit after dependencies update more pronto?

Same issue here, I haven't gotten any substitute for qtwebkit in a long time.

Have you tried using the --do-not-upgrade flag? According to the example here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-package.html
you could try:
guix package --upgrade . --do-not-upgrade openshot

Assuming openshot really is the only package you have which needs qtwebkit then
this should prevent you from having to rebuild it.
