Assigning to maintainer-wanted since this is effectively a new package.

[Comment 2 Jacob Floyd 2014-07-23 21:22:03 UTC]

An ebuild is in the unity-gentoo overlay.

[Comment 3 riepernet 2014-08-06 10:52:50 UTC]

the ebuild in unity-overlay is of a different version (5.2.1) than the rest of Qt5 (qt-overlay). 
I encountered incompatabilities with at least qtwebkit. Fiddled around with the 5.2.1-ebuild, but due to my limited knowledge, building other versions failed.

Ebuild for PyQt5 5.3.2

Here's an ebuild dev-python/PyQt5-5.3.2.ebuild for PyQt5 version 5.3.2, which is needed to build Calibre 2.x:

Before emerging, you will need to manually create a symbolic link for Qt5's qprinter.h:

ln -s /usr/include/qt5/QtPrintSupport/qprinter.h /usr/include/qt5

After that you can compile PyQt5. I've attached an ebuild for Calibre 2.4.0 to Bug #521484 that sets the appropriate USE flags for its PyQt5 dependency.

Add printsupport dependency for QtWebKitWidgets

Or you can try this patch from:

Apparently will be in the next PyQt5 version:

[Comment 6 Davide Pesavento 2014-10-08 00:08:42 UTC]

Should we:

1. rename dev-python/PyQt4 to dev-python/PyQt (or lowercase pyqt)
2. move 4.x ebuilds to SLOT=4
3. add new PyQt 5.x packages as SLOT=5 of dev-python/PyQt

?

[Comment 7 Davide Pesavento 2014-10-08 00:20:54 UTC]

Note that they are considered two separate packages on PyPI, but that may be due to a limitation of PyPI engine.

Seems reasonable.

OTOH, it doesn't really give us any benefits, and it requires some work to fix all the revdeps, so I'm not gonna do it for now.
