15:03 <farkuhar> what Wawrzek observed 15 months ago is still the case: qtwebengine does not build when python2 is unavailable. It makes sense that chromium managed to eliminate its python2 dependency before qtwebengine did, but hopefully qtwebengine will soon catch up and modernize its build scripts to work with python3.

19:17 <SiFuh> farkuhar: bloatware doesn't remove bloat ;-)

19:19 <beerman> I mean, there are patches for it in place. Are you saying you tried it and it doesn’t work or what are you saying?

20:06 <farkuhar> I was just revisiting https://lists.crux.nu/pipermail/crux/2021-March/006822.html to see whether anything has changed.

21:10 <beerman> so you tested it

22:00 <farkuhar> beerman: yes, i tested it. when you said two days ago that chromium within the last year had managed to stop hard depending on python2, i was curious whether qtwebengine had achieved the same. unfortunately no.

22:01 <beerman> ah, well then. qtwebengine (5) is a hackfast now anyways and should be dropped as fast as possible, imo

22:01 <beerman> the chromium version it builds is old

22:01 <beerman> but depending ports dont move as fast
