Solved qt5-webkit dependencies

According to freshport qt5-webkit depends on pyhon2.7.
But i've added python2.7 to poudrieres blacklist.
Still qt5-webkit compiles seemingly fine.
Weird ?
And is support for python3 underway ?
 
Unfortunately qt5-webkit is poorly maintained, the current version upstream (https://github.com/qtwebkit/qtwebkit) is literally years behind official WebKit (Apple Safari or WebKitGTK). That's a security problem. Unless someone starts investing lots of time in it to catch up, it will probably be dropped sooner or later.
 
Solved. www/qt5-webkit compiles & runs fine with python2,python27 blacklisted.

www/qt5-webengine on the other hand makes a dead impression.

We had a project (company/commerial/$$$) for which we were planning to use qt5-webkit. Evaluation showed that "lots of time" is somewhat of an understatement - this would be a massive undertaking.
