Are there any plans upstream to port away to qtwebengine?
I just have a look into their Git. Latest master still depends on qtwebkit. Will ask upstream.
At least, dropping USE="client" wouldn't be so bad, since net-im/swift is mainly used as a lib (client not needed for that) for net-im/spectrum2 as xmpp gateway.
Till today, no reply from upstream on my question about switching to qtwebengine. I asked again. Based on my experience, I doubt, that this will happen in near future.
Asked now on their mailing list..
I finally got a reply. Next version (5.0) will still depend on qtwebkit. After that, they will have a look, what the future will be. So as a conclusion, I don't expect a switch away from qtwebkit in near future.
Provided they will ever land another commit I guess: https://swift.im/git/swift
...another month without so much as a commit, time to drop IUSE=client?
(In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #7) > ...another month without so much as a commit, time to drop IUSE=client? I don't have a problem with that. Since I only need the lib itself, I would be fine with that. I only added 'client' as there was a request at bugzilla :-)

This is basically the 'client' part, a full featured XMPP client, while the lib part remains present, as it's needed by net-im/spectrum2.

As for now, I dropped USE="client" on the slotted lua version.
