python-qt: disable vulnerable Qt5 webengine by default, add Qt6 support, clean, adopt by nim65s · Pull Request #437521 · NixOS/nixpkgs

nim65s · 2025-08-27T13:25:18Z

webengine is optional:

extensions/PythonQt_QtAll/PythonQt_QtAll.pro
24:  qtHaveModule(webenginewidgets):CONFIG += PythonQtWebEngineWidgets

So disable it by default to fix build
following #435067

edit: while here, let's get a Qt6 version, where qtwebengine is still maintained.

LordGrimmauld · 2025-08-28T08:50:24Z

I wonder if we should default to the qt6 version instead...

LordGrimmauld · 2025-08-28T08:51:51Z

Ah wait its broken on darwin on qt6, fair enough to keep it on qt5 for now then. I don't particularly like staying on qt5, but so be it.

nim65s · 2025-08-28T09:14:14Z

I am considering to do this in several steps:

add Qt6 opt-in here
add Qt6 opt-in in all its reverse dependencies (eg. osgqt: add Qt6 support #437594, which is a dependency of one reverse-dependency…), or document when it is not feasible
switch default to Qt6
drop Qt5 where possible

Commits and diff looks good. Also builds properly on Linux.

rebased for Qt6.10.1

webengine is optional: ``` extensions/PythonQt_QtAll/PythonQt_QtAll.pro 24: qtHaveModule(webenginewidgets):CONFIG += PythonQtWebEngineWidgets ``` So disable it by default to fix build following NixOS#435067

It now need way more fixes than what should be done in this python-qt PR

fix Qt6.10.1 support
