[Touch-packages] [Bug 1579265] Re: Qt dev package does not include webenginewidgets
If I'm understanding this bug report correctly, you need QtWebEngine to be in Debian. I'll assign this to myself as I have been working with the Debian Qt people to get QtWebEngine and QtWebChannel (a dependency of QtWebEngine) packaged. At the moment, QtWebChannel is in Debian, and we're waiting on some tweaks to QtWebEngine's debian/copyright file for it to be uploaded. I can reasonably predict that QtWebEngine will be in Ubuntu 17.04 before Feature Freeze. I'll keep this bug report updated. ** Changed in: qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Simon Quigley (tsimonq2) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtbase-opensource-src in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579265 Title: Qt dev package does not include webenginewidgets Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Attached is a sample project that uses several QT components.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1579265] Re: Qt dev package does not include webenginewidgets
Yes, making it call the libraries already in Debian dynamically would be a lot of work. We'll see if someone will eventually work on it or not, there are certainly applications that would require it. And yes, Oxide is not drop-in replacement, it has different API etc. It's however a fully up-to-date and secure Chromium based browser engine similar to QtWebEngine otherwise. But then again, Oxide is currently only available in Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtbase-opensource-src in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579265 Title: Qt dev package does not include webenginewidgets Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Attached is a sample project that uses several QT components.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1579265] Re: Qt dev package does not include webenginewidgets
Thanks for the updates and the links to the discussions. My understanding is that Debian doesn't wish to distribute Qt WebEngine because it is would be linked in statically and thus not receive any security updates. And changing it to use the library dynamically would be too much work. Is that a fair assessment? I did look into the Oxide packages. I tried to install several of them, including even the codecs. However, this still doesn't allow me to build my test project (see attachment). So, appears that Oxide is not a drop- in replacement for web engine. Also, I found hardly any documentation on Oxide other than a blog post. I also found https://launchpad.net/oxide but that is very scare on details or documentation. If you have any other pointers, please let us know. Otherwise, our best course of action is to package QT ourselves.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1579265] Re: Qt dev package does not include webenginewidgets
Unfortunately Qt WebEngine is not available at all in Debian or Ubuntu, because it's largely unsuitable for distribution. This bug therefore won't fix until there is someone willing to spend considerable effort (months at minimum) to package Qt WebEngine to Debian (from which it will get into Ubuntu).

I'll want to add that in Ubuntu you may want to use Oxide instead which provides somewhat similar, modern up-to-date and security supported web engine with Qt/QML bindings: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oxide- qt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtbase-opensource-src in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579265 Title: Qt dev package does not include webenginewidgets Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Attached is a sample project that uses several QT components.
