[Qgis-developer] QtWebKit (Debian testing) future

[tudorbarascu at yahoo.com]

Hi,
As python-qt4 doesn't contain QtWebKit anymore, python support gets disabled when running qgis.
Only building pyqt4 from source with webkit worked. Hope this helps somebody!
I would have stayed to debian jessie but intel skylake users only have GPU support from kernel 4.3 (full support from 4.4) so I was forced to debian testing some months ago.
All the best!

yes, sorry for the noise, it is currently a problem for us as 'Debian
testing' users only, but the rest of the world is still ok..

@Matthias so part of the migration script/notes would be porting to
QWebEngineView/QtWebEngine from QWebview/QtWebKit

Richard
