media-gfx/freecad depends on dev-qt/qtwebkit:4 which is ancient and will never see any security updates. If it's not possible to disable it and there's no upstream port available it might be time to remove this package.
git master is already qt5-based and packaging in Gentoo currently needs to wait for pyside(-tools):2 and shiboken:2 to be moved from qt overlay to tree.
Masking of <media-gfx/freecad-0.17_pre is being prepared in order to proceed with Qt4WebKit removal.

Removal date would have been almost two weeks ago, I would really like to proceed here. Last working version could be moved to an overlay like graveyard, together with Qt4WebKit, and we re-add freecad whenever the port to Qt5 and its deps are finally in shape.
i was just able to emerge pyside:2 (thanks to you pointing me to the relavant bug) and now compiling my freecad-9999 ebuild version with qt5 support (from my overlay). will let you know if it compiles and runs soon.
(In reply to Miroslav Šulc from comment #6) Hey … it’s been two over weeks … Did it compile and run? :) Can I help? Because I really would like to get rid of compiling yet another Webkit every other week. :)
FreeCAD now also is the only package (at least on my system) requiring abi_x86_32. (And: I see the current ebuild does depend on libmed. Is this really unnecessary? I think I had to add it for it to build. In which case it would have to be added.)
For your convenience, this is the upstream tracker URL for this bug, btw: https://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=2868 Or, for the entire port to Qt5: https://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=2986

I've blindly added a Debian patch to drop the qtwebkit:4 dependency. Please, someone give it a try. This is the last chance for FreeCAD to extend its life for a little while (until qt4-removal).

The /usr/bin/FreeCAD application starts up while emitting "No module named WebGui". This warning goes away after changing Preferences/General/Autoload module after startup to e.g. <none>. I was able to open some but not all of my projects. I was not able to figure out what causes the crash: *** Abort *** an exception was raised, but no catch was found. ... The exception is:SIGSEGV 'segmentation violation' detected. Address 0
Re-added previous version plus 0.17_pre-r1 fixes per bug 650274, so you can test that. Not sure if it makes sense to keep 0.17_pre then.
Created attachment 530804 [details] ebuild for release version of freecad 0.17, using Qt5 Upstreams has now released 0.17, which also means they have removed the "_pre" archive. I was able to build the 0.17 release with Qt5 using the attached ebuild. The overlays "qt" and "science" are needed for some dependencies (pyside:2 and libmed).
Thanks for your contribution, but please note this is not the right bug for this. See bug 622726 and compare with the existing work towards a qt5 ebuild in there.
Qt4 was masked.
Last call for maintainer before actual removal.
