[aur-general] Qt 4.8 hits [testing] + qtwebkit package
Hi all, the last Qt major release is in [testing]. For the upstream changes see the Qt ChangeLog[1]. About the Arch Linux packaging, the libqtwebkit library isn't shipped with the qt package anymore, but with the new qtwebkit package. We rebuilt our packages in [extra] and [community] to add this new dependence. If you find a package which links to libQtWebKit.so.4, but doesn't depend on qtwebkit, please report us the bug using bugs.archlinux.org. AUR maintainers are encouraged to check their packages to see if they links to libQtWebKit.so.4, then add the new dependence. [1] http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/12/15/qt-4-8-0-released/ -- Andrea

[1] http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/12/15/qt-4-8-0-released/ I forgot to say that mixxx cannot be rebuilt ATM[1], so until this isn't fixed mixxx users have to install qtwebkit too.
Also, qtscriptgenerator doesn't build too. [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26603 [2] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26604 -- Andrea

How much time to you estimate it will stay in testing? I don't want to block again other rebuilds :D -- Ionuț

I don't want to block again other rebuilds :D The plasma crash on logout is gone, but I don't know about the font bug (FS#26624). I guess that a couple of days is fine if that is fixed too.

Hey Andrea, Nice work. But - HTML5 video and audio tags aren't working for me. I tried it in konqueror, rekonq and aurora. The first frame of the video loads, but it won't play. This is with either gstreamer or vlc phonon backends. I tried youtube in HTML5 mode and also http://tinyvid.tv/. Same result. html5test.com reports that everything is fine for video except subtitles. I tried rebuilding a few related packages (phonon, phonon-gstreamer, etc.), but nothing seemed to change the behaviour. Any ideas? Pete. On Monday 19 Dec 2011 19:17:08 Andrea Scarpino wrote:

Any ideas? Is kwebkitpart installed? Also, try re-installing it if you had the previous one (the one built with qt 4.8rc1).
I can reproduce any video in the website you linked above. (ReKonq + phonon- vlc here) There's no need to rebuild phonon, I'm using 1.6.0 right now and that is built upon [extra]. Indeed, you can try rebuilding kwebkitpart if html5 video still don't work. -- Andrea

Is kwebkitpart installed?
Yes, here's what I have:
% pacman -Qi qt
Name : qt
Version : 4.8.0-2
Packager : Andrea Scarpino
Also, try re-installing it if you had the previous one (the one built with qt 4.8rc1).
So, I don't have this, right?

This made me think that it might be a codec issue, but I have every gstreamer0.10-plugin package installed and phonon backend is set to Gstreamer. And, if I put the URL of a video *file* (not tag) straight into rekonq, it plays perfectly.

I just rebuilt kwebkitpart as you suggested, and that made no difference unfortunately. This is strange - the first frame of the video does display and the buttons sort of work, i.e. the volume button changes colour when I click on it - but the video doesn't play. Pete.

Seems like there's another new dependence, qtwebkit pulls in phonon, this didn't happen when it was part of qt. Why is this? Regards, Philipp

because in the past he didn't built html5 support in qt. It would be insane(from kde perspective) to have gstreamer as dependency for qt :) -- Ionuț

I find it strange that suddenly phonon is forced down every Qt users throat while phonon is already superseded by other APIs. Apparently those newer APIs use gstreamer as backend on Linux. "Even though support for Phonon in Qt will continue for the 4.x series, Qt has already replaced Phonon with QtMultimedia and QtMobility." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonon_%28KDE%29 I simply don't know what I'd need phonon for, the Qt audio/video programs I use use different audio/video APIs anyway (mplayer, jack). It's just yet another unneeded thing from my pov. Regards, Philipp

Well, guess I have no other choice than to install phonon then. I just hope I won't get beeps and bops all over the place and need half of KDE to turn it off.

Isn't needed anymore by qtwebkit 2.2.1-1. Phonon was a dependence because qtwebkit's website says so[1], but it isn't used anymore by qtwebkit code.

Perhaps, but isn't gstreamer the "preferred" backend for phonon these days? http://userbase.kde.org/Phonon#Backend_libraries Pete.
