Comment 1 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2017-07-07 20:03:05 UTC
can you specify since which version qutebrowser no longer needs qtwebkit?
Comment 2 Chris Chan 2017-07-07 20:55:52 UTC
since 0.8.4

the maintainer says to me, on irc, regarding old versions (0.8.4 and 0.9.1): 
23:53:00 The-Compiler | What's the point of still having those
23:54:09 The-Compiler | I can understand keeping v0.11.0 around whenever v1.0.0 comes out, but keeping older versions is pointless imho
Comment 3 Chris Chan 2017-07-07 21:00:06 UTC
remove those two old versions, remove the dep to qtwebkit , and replace the old versions with 0.11 https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/releases
Comment 4 Florian Bruhin 2017-07-10 07:28:13 UTC
qutebrowser upstream here - currently, QtWebKit is still the default backend for qutebrowser, and I'd hope that Gentoo packages the updated QtWebKit at some point: https://github.com/annulen/webkit/wiki

With v1.0 somewhen later this year, QtWebEngine will become the default, and support for QtWebKit before 5.212 (i.e. the updated one I linked) will be dropped. But that's not the case yet.
