Qt WebView is deprecated upstream. It was based on the same Apple WebKit source that WebViewGTK uses. It was replaced quite a while ago by Qt WebEngine, which is based on Google’s Chromium. There is no Qt 6 version of Qt WebView, so it will go entirely away at that point. But this brings up an interesting question. Why are the Qt source packages building private-dev binary packages? There was probably some historical reason for doing so, but handling security support in stable would be a lot easier if we stopped shipping private headers that other packages can build- depends on. Perhaps Dmitry or Patrick could provide some background. -- Soren Stoutner soren@stoutner.com
