Bug 594240 – www-client/qupzilla-1.8.9: ppc keyword request

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description ernsteiswuerfel 2016-09-18 15:25:40 UTC]

Please keyword www-client/qupzilla-1.8.9 for ppc. Builds and runs fine on my PowerMac G5.

There is one dependency without ppc keyword:
=dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.6.1 **

The rest of the deps are already ~ppc:
=dev-qt/qtprintsupport-5.6.1 ~ppc
=dev-qt/linguist-tools-5.6.1 ~ppc
=dev-qt/qtconcurrent-5.6.1 ~ppc
=dev-qt/qtscript-5.6.1 ~ppc
=dev-qt/qtwidgets-5.6.1 ~ppc
=dev-qt/qtx11extras-5.6.1 ~ppc
=dev-qt/qtgui-5.6.1 ~ppc
=dev-qt/qtcore-5.6.1 ~ppc
=dev-qt/qtnetwork-5.6.1 ~ppc
=dev-qt/qtsql-5.6.1 ~ppc
=dev-qt/qtdbus-5.6.1 ~ppc

qupzilla-1.x and qtwebkit are obsolete. Can we keyword qupzilla-2.x and qtwebengine instead? (if they work on ppc)

I went for qupzilla-2.0.1 first but qtwebengine-5.6.1 failed to build on my machine (PowerMac G5 7,3).

As per comment #1, there's no point doing this as I would intend to stabilise 2.0.1 soon and drop old 1.8.9. Sorry about that.

[Comment 4 ernsteiswuerfel 2016-10-08 10:30:55 UTC]

No big deal. It's understandable to go directly for 2.0.1. However qtwebengine-5.6.1 (which is not keyworded either) is preventing this atm. Maybe I'll find time to do an upstream bugreport. AFAIK QT 5.6.x is a LTS, so there's hope for fixing this build issue.

[Comment 5 ernsteiswuerfel 2016-10-11 14:54:13 UTC]

Did an upstream bugreport concerning the build problem of qtwebengine-5.6.1 ** on my machine.

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56465 says
"Qt WebEngine doesn't support powerpc, since Chrome/Chromium does not."

Therefore qupzilla-2.0.x won't build on ppc either. Unless Chromium supports powerpc at some day.
