LXImage-Qt image viewer), this one has been selected.įor configuration we included the LXQt config tools (lxqt-config and obconf-qt) of course, in addition we added lxappearance to be able to change GTK themes too. In cases where LXQt provides an application (e.g. The set of applications is not yet fixed, we've chosen some KDE applications as they are Qt5 based and integrate well while having a small dependency footprint. After some weeks of testing and tuning, reworking translation packages and updating whole LXQt to 0.11.x (x>0) the LXQt SIG decided to propose the LXQt Spin for inclusion in Fedora 26.
#Qupzilla footprint update
Update all qt5-qtwebkit packages for Fedora 24+ when some more testing is done, current plan is a 0day update for Fedora 26 (we will not get it in before final freeze) and updates for Fedora 24 and 25 at the same timeĪround christmas we announced some initial effort for a Fedora LXQt remix/spin.Provide a copr for wider testing, already done, checkout.So far it looks like new QtWebKit is what it is promised to be: a drop-in replacement for the old one, even without the need to recompile anything. Within the last two weeks I worked on packaging the new QtWebKit and testing it with several browsers and KDE components to ensure that we do not break the world.

There are also some reasons to use QtWebKit instead of QtWebEngine, checkout the QtWebKit Wiki. With Konstantins work on QtWebKit it is possible to use them without all these unfixed security issues again. Qt itself only supports the QtWebEngine based on Chromium, which itself has some issues (hard to maintain as we have to remove codec stuff, always some Chromium releases behind), but more important: Many applications have not been ported and still use QtWebKit. As the current state of QtWebkit is really bad in Fedora, we always shipped the latest one from Qt upstream, but they did not do any backports of security fixes from upstream WebKit anymore, the KDE SIG now decided to move to the new community QtWebKit. The Qt port of the WebKit engine was unmaintained for years, until Konstantin Tokarev (also known as annulen) decided to pick it up in December 2015. Within the last months he did an impressive job on getting QtWebKit up to date again, some days ago he released the second alpha of QtWebKit 5.212.0. Me and Aleksandra, Fedora Raspberry Pi vehicle on the right In general, people gave good feedback on Fedora ?Īleksandra and Till are local Fedora ambassadors, therefore especially Aleksandra promoted the recently founded Fedora User Group NRW at FrOSCon to get in touch with more people and find new members. In case of the beginners guide, we learned, that there are still many people who do not feel that comfortable with English language and would prefer a local (in this case german) translation to get started. In addition we provided some Fedora swag, including stickers, pens, the nice "Fedora loves Python" flyers and the Fedora Workstation beginners guide. We presented Fedora 28 Workstation running on a laptop, showing the latest Fedora experience, as well as a Raspberry Pi 3 running Fedora, controlling the vehicle it is mounted on.

Therefore a team of Fedora ambassadors and other contributors joined the event to present Fedora: Aleksandra Fedorova, Raphael Groner, Till Maas and me. Of course, Fedora should not miss such an event. As every year, FrOSCon took place in Sankt Augustin (near Bonn) at last weekend of August (25th/26th), which is one of Germanys biggest FOSS events.
