Description Liu Yujie 2022-10-28 15:28:51 UTC 
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.
Comment 2 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2022-10-28 15:35:36 UTC 
Do you see QtWebKit anywhere in ::gentoo?
Comment 3 Liu Yujie 2022-10-28 15:45:24 UTC 
No ,I don't, sorry
I just really want to get rid of QtWebEngine and forget to check that, my bad
