qtwebkit is very dead. Why do you need it?

UlyssesZh commented 6 months ago

I want to use a tool called pdftowrite, which depends on wkhtmltopdf, which depends on qtwebkit. I opened kosmospredanie/pdftowrite#6 to ask the developer to drop the dependency on wkhtmltopdf, but I don't know whether they will ever respond. I may have to fork my own version of that tool if that is the case.

wkhtmltopdf is also dead: https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf

UlyssesZh commented 6 months ago

Yes, I know that. This is why I asked pdftowrite to drop wkhtmltopdf instead of asking wkhtmltopdf to drop qtwebkit.

you should be able to use whtmltopdf-bin, as fixed in #327641
