The version of libre-testing/qtcreator is 6.0.0 and it's last updated on 2021-12-05. Compared to the package from standard Arch repositories, it does not rely on non-free web engine component.
As for now, extra/qtcreator in standard Arch Linux repos has version 10.0.1. While qt-webengine still might be used as a help viewer, there are another options for that, for example, litehtml. And litehtml is actually the default option - see these two lines in src/plugins/help/CMakeLists.txt: ``` set(HELPVIEWER_DEFAULT_BACKEND "litehtml" CACHE STRING "Sets default help viewer backend") set_property(CACHE HELPVIEWER_DEFAULT_BACKEND PROPERTY STRINGS "litehtml;qtwebengine;textbrowser") ``` I was able to build qtcreator on my Parabola machine locally using PKGBUILD from Arch repos and without using qt-webengine. The help viewer works and relies on litehtml as expected - see the following commands output: ``` $ ldd lib/qtcreator/plugins/libHelp.so | grep litehtml | wc -l 2 $ ldd lib/qtcreator/plugins/libHelp.so | grep webengine | wc -l 0 ``` Could someone clarify what's the state of qtcreator in libre-testing now? It's not updated for 1.5 years as for now. I see that there are some changes regarding i686 support - maybe the testing is stuck because of some i686-related issues? As a technical person, C++ programmer and enthusiast, I can help with updating the PKGBUILD and testing the package. Please let me know if there's some work on the package performed now and if I can do something valuable in terms of making it up-to-date.
