Description Leho Kraav (:macmaN @lkraav) 2020-03-28 11:10:18 UTC

See

* https://bugs.gentoo.org/715106#c4
* https://github.com/jorgicio/jorgicio-gentoo-overlay/issues/220

Indeed, `dev-qt/qtwebengine` is massive dependency and we should look to avoid. Literally, only `net-im/zoom` seems to need it on most systems:

```
leho@gusto profiles $ equery d qtwebengine
 * These packages depend on qtwebengine:
net-im/zoom-3.5.372466.0322-r1 (dev-qt/qtwebengine:5)
```

Reproducible: Always

Please also note regardless of them being acctually needed here, that bundled dependencies are to be avoided in most cases, as the maintainer does here, for security reasons.
