qt5webkit: restore package

Although this package has been removed from the official release packages since Qt5.6.0, it is still available for users to build it from source. This is useful for platforms without GPU since its successor (QtWebEngine) requires OpenGL support.

The package now matches the community-based meta-qt5 Yocto layer, using the exact same revision of the qtwebkit source from github:
https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/commit/e434995a

Here is the project source tree:
https://github.com/qtproject/qtwebkit

All the patches have been pulled from Yocto as well.

Since we are now using the source from the git repository, we need to create an empty .git/ folder to force the headers re-generation.
https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/blob/jethro/recipes-qt/qt5/qt5.inc#L33

Note that GPLv3 license option has been added with this release.

Hi all,

Changelog v1->v2:
- Add comment to explain GitHub choice, suggested by Arnout.
- Add comment to explain .git folder creation, suggested by Julien.
- Remove || true for .git folder creation, suggested by Julien.
- Add SOB to patches, suggested by Julien and Arnout.
- Remove x/y number in patches titles, suggested by Arnout.

I know the .git folder will still make people wonder, I unfortunately haven't found the exact Makefile where this folder makes a difference. My comment points to the meta-qt5 inc file which does it with the following explanation:
# Regenerate header files when they are included in source tarball # Otherwise cmake files don't set PRIVATE_HEADERS correctly

do_configure_prepend() {
     rm -rf ${S}/include
     mkdir -p ${S}/.git || true
}

Tested on i.MX6Q Nitrogen6x platform.

Regards,
Gary

+Building qtwebkit causes a QA issue such that QtWebPluginProcess and
+QtWebProcess contain bad RPATHs which point into the build location. This fix

Although this package has been removed from the official release packages since Qt5.6.0, it is still available for users to build it from source. This is useful for platforms without GPU since its successor (QtWebEngine) requires OpenGL support.

The package now matches the community-based meta-qt5 Yocto layer, using the exact same revision of the qtwebkit source from github:
https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/commit/e434995a

Here is the project source tree:
https://github.com/qtproject/qtwebkit

All the patches have been pulled from Yocto as well.

Since we are now using the source from the git repository, we need to create an empty .git/ folder to force the headers re-generation.

Note that GPLv3 license option has been added with this release.

Hi all,

Changelog v1->v2:
- Add comment to explain GitHub choice, suggested by Arnout.
- Add comment to explain .git folder creation, suggested by Julien.
- Remove || true for .git folder creation, suggested by Julien.
- Add SOB to patches, suggested by Julien and Arnout.
- Remove x/y number in patches titles, suggested by Arnout.

I know the .git folder will still make people wonder, I unfortunately haven't
found the exact Makefile where this folder makes a difference. My comment points to the meta-qt5 inc file which does it with the following explanation:
# Regenerate header files when they are included in source tarball # Otherwise cmake files don't set PRIVATE_HEADERS correctly

do_configure_prepend() {
     rm -rf ${S}/include
     mkdir -p ${S}/.git || true
}

I've found out, I'll comment on it below.

Tested on i.MX6Q Nitrogen6x platform.

Regards,
Gary

or GPLv2 or GPLv3

Actually, as far as I can see with the help of fossology, it's all LGPLv2+
except a few files which specify additional possibilities. So I'd say that it's LGPLv2+.

There is also quite a lot of BSD-2c and BSD-3c, so I'd add those, even if
there's no corresponding license file.

There are also a few build tools that are GPLv2+ but we don't consider
those.

This is a funny situation... Four license files are provided, but none of
them actually corresponds to the license of the code... Anyway, I'd keep just the LGPLv21 file.

Here's my analysis of the situation; I'll write it as comments directly for
easy cut and paste.

# Since we get the source from git, generated header files are not included.

# qmake detects that header file generation (using the syncqt tool) must be
# done based on the existence of a .git directory (cfr. the git_build config
# option which is set in qt_build_paths.prf).
# So, to make sure that qmake detects that header files must be generated,
# create an empty .git directory.

Arnout, All,

Yes sorry I actually just looked at the LICENSE files available. The Yocto recipe actually says "BSD & LGPLv2+ | GPL-2.0"[1].

So I'll discard the GPLv2 as for build tools. Should I specify BSD-2c and BSD-3c or is BSD sufficient?

They got me there.
