As described in https://invent.kde.org/kdevelop/kdevelop#optional-dependencies , kdevelop can use QtWebKit for documentation rendering instead of QtWebEngine: 'To use QtWebKit instead of QtWebEngine for documentation rendering when both are available, add -DCMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_Qt5WebEngineWidgets=ON to the CMake arguments' And current kdevelop package already to similar things for optionally depending on subversion: '$(cmake_use_find_package subversion SubversionLibrary)' can we have a flag to avoid the use of QtWebEngine?
No, we can't. We had qtwebkit in tree and got rid of it as it was unmaintained upstream and full of vulnerabilities.
Do you see QtWebKit anywhere in ::gentoo?
No ,I don't, sorry I just really want to get rid of QtWebEngine and forget to check that, my bad
