[PATCH] gnu: Add qtwebkit.

Hi,

this patch adds QtWebKit 5.7 as a separate package (hopefully this will reduce security concerns: only packages which really need QtWebKit will include it).

QtWebKit is not officially supported anymore as of Qt 5.6, so this is a “community release” (not exactly sure what that entails, or if this includes any updates at all since the Qt 5.5 version).  I suppose many projects are switching to Qt WebEngine, and there are some efforts to create an updated version of QtWebKit (https://github.com/annulen/webkit), but in the mean time, this package might help build packages which still rely on the old QtWebKit.

By default, the qmake build system for qtwebkit insists on installing into the same prefix as qtbase, and it seems no command line parameters will change that. The solution I came up with, was to substitute all the necessary paths in the generated Makefiles. This makes the patch a bit lengthy.

I've also attached a minimal example.

Thomas

Thanks a lot for this patch.  I can confirm it builds fine, yet I have
to test it on some Qt packages that need QtWebkit (Texmaker).

I think this patch works fine.  Unfortunately for me, it does not fix
Texmaker's build because it needs QtWebkitWidgets which is apparently a
different thing.

I'm quite sure QtWebkitWidgets is in there (there's a 
libqtwebkitwidgets.so or something like that if you look in the lib 
directory. See also the 'QT+=webkitwidgets' in the example I 
attached). I don't know how Texmaker's build system works, maybe some 
of qtwebkit's qmake/pkg-config/libtool auxiliary files are incomplete 
or incorrect, and this is why texmaker doesn't find qtwebkitwidgets?  
If you can find out how texmaker looks for qtwebkitwidgets, we might 
improve the patch.

So I thought.  I'll try to figure out why Texmaker doesn't find the
QtWebkitWidgets module and report my findings.

Interesting!

Is there any official statement from Qt about these "community
releases"? I see that it is hosted on qt.io, so presumably they are
somehow blessed by Qt, but I'd like more information.

I wasn't able to find any information at all.  Maybe someone on #kde 
can tell us more.

I found this statement on the Qt mailing list:

"QtQuick1 and QtWebKit are _not_ supported anymore since Qt 5.6. 

What we have said is that we will provide QtWebKit source packages as
courtesy 
on a  best-effort basis. That is, also the QtWebKit source package under

http://download.qt.io/community_releases/5.6/5.6.0/

is not part of Qt anymore, and not supported. Use it at your own risk.
There's also no promise we can continue providing these."

source: http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2016-May/025923.html

Well, none of this software comes with a warranty, so I think it's fine.
Can you add a code comment mentioning that this package is not
officially supported by the Qt project?

done!

I've attached an updated patch, as well as a follow-up patch for the 
texmaker package.
