app-misc/anki depends on dev-qt/qtwebkit:4 which is ancient and will never see any security updates. Apparently upstream master is already using PyQt 5.7+.
Anki 2.1.0 is now beta (but is not considered stable enough due to possible data loss according to the description), and supports modern library versions. Sadly Qt5.9 is required. [1] [1]: https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/beta.html
Qt-5.9.2 is now in tree. (In reply to Gleb from comment #1) > Anki 2.1.0 is now beta (but is not considered stable enough due to possible > data loss according to the description) "You can be fairly confident the beta will not eat your data. 2.1 has been in alpha status for the last year as we waited for toolkit issues to be resolved, and we have not had any reports of data loss during that time."
Masking of <app-misc/anki-2.1 is being prepared in order to proceed with Qt4WebKit removal.

anki requires PyQt5 to be built with the use flags "webengine widgets webchannel": After upgrading to app-misc/anki-2.1.0_beta25, anki fails to start with the following traceback: $ anki Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.6/anki", line 6, in <module> import aqt File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/aqt/__init__.py", line 14, in <module> from aqt.qt import * File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/aqt/qt.py", line 17, in <module> from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEnginePage ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets' I wasn't able to test it so far though, as I'm still on Qt-5.7.1 while anki need 5.9
Having compiled Qt5.9 now, anki is still not starting, complaining that it "couldn't find web folder" It looks like some code may just not be ready for anki to be packaged? I'll attach the traceback I immediately get after starting. I also asked at the upstream support forum: https://anki.tenderapp.com/discussions/beta-testing/853-anki-210-beta-21#comment_44117668
Created attachment 505904 [details] anki start traceback "couldn't find web folder"
I suggest you have a look at what I've done for the Debian package (which is only in unstable and blocked from transitioning due to the beta status of the software): https://packages.debian.org/sid/anki You can see how I've packaged it, and the modifications I've made to ensure that it is compatible with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. (In particular, I don't repackage MathJax and other pre-bundled minimised code; instead, I have modified the Anki source code to look on the system for this javascript code.) Best wishes, and good luck with your version! Julian

Not an issue of anki and has now been addressed in 2.1.0_beta25 and _beta27.
Old versions have been dropped in git commit c256849563d19e023385ef4cf9f55a550815359a.
