Details

The last tagged release of qt5-webkit was two years ago, since then the project has received bug fixes and some attention. The main developer recommends using the lastest commit and it is unlikely that he will tag another release till the new linux specific ( updated to webkit upstream qtwebkit ) preview is ready.

This task depends upon
