code.qt.io is offline - failed to build qt5-webengine

korimitsu · 2025-11-09 20:28:59

Any idea if Qt has deleted or moved the repo?

And here we are again trying to build old, obsolete software with known vulnerabilities. Same question as last time, do you *actually* need it?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt5- … =1#pkgreqs - seems DaVinci depends on it.

The code.qt.io status is probably (better… hopefully) intermittent.
If you actually need it as real dependency for something you cannot substitute, wait and/or fetch an old build from the ALA.
Seems DVR just released an update, you should research whether they actually still depend on Qt5

korimitsu · 2025-11-09 22:12:50

It's required by notepadqq now uninstalled since don't need it anymore with its dependencies:
qt5-webengine notepadqq qt5-webview

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

korimitsu · 2025-11-10 15:05:00

I don't think it's solved. Doesn't compile yet.

seth · 2025-11-10 15:11:38

I thought you opted for dropping notepadqq…
Either way: you'll have to wait for code.qt.io to return or pick a version from the ALA.

Compile or do you mean code.qt.io still being down?

Anything that prevents the package from compiling. In this case it's the git server.

I've noticed that the server looked like online some hours ago. The package should switch to some tarball when the git fails.

Failure to download and failure to compile are not the same.

That is outside the scope of a PKGBUILD. Perhaps you want to add a feature to makepkg providing that.

Why not contact the current package maintainer and ask them to change the source after they fix the package not building with icu78? Or you could provide fixes for both.

seth · 2025-11-10 20:51:04

http://code.qt.io/ is still dead for me.

NYI · 2025-11-10 20:54:27

I had to manually edit the pkgbuild before grabbing source. Changed "https://" to "git://" which worked, because the https:// git url was returning document not found.

Can you please give more detailed instructions on how to do this?
I really need to install this package.
Thanks a lot.

i mean where in PKGBUILD should i change https:// go git://, to compile qt5-webengine?

NYI · 2025-11-11 20:20:06

If you're using an AUR manager like paru, look into an option such as "--fm," where you can specify a text file manager to use - I used nnn for this purpose - and at that point, if you select the PKGBUILD file, you can edit it to change this:

source=(kde-$_pkgfqn::git+https://code.qt.io/qt/qtwebengine.git#tag=v${pkgver}-lts
        git+https://code.qt.io/qt/qtwebengine-chromium.git

to this:

source=(kde-$_pkgfqn::git+git://code.qt.io/qt/qtwebengine.git#tag=v${pkgver}-lts
        git+git://code.qt.io/qt/qtwebengine-chromium.git

At that point, save the file, close it, and proceed with the remainder of the package building.

I will warn you I was not able to successfully compile and I do not know enough to tell you why. Failed during build process. Other users note failure in the AUR page. I tried installing the AUR icu75 package first, but I don't know enough about building qt5-webengine to know if I need to take additional steps to link to it, or if that's even the issue causing my failure.

See discussion of the --fm flag.

EDIT: You just posted right before me, I see. Provided what to edit above.

See post #8 to switch from code.qt.io to qt's github mirror.

The source array? Where else?
I don't think this will work, though - see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p2272021 and get the sources from github.
code.qt.io is still down.

Nobody here is gonna fix code.qt.io being down, welcome to the internet in the fucking AI era, and until Qt gets their server back into shape you've been given multiple alternatives to deal with that situation.

dmcken · 2025-11-14 16:56:04

Not to dog pile but it is also a dependency of zoom and teamviewer, so fallout is a bit larger. I don't know what was in the old repo but I found:

https://github.com/qt/qtwebengine

I'm not sure if substituting it would work? I don't have my old build files so I guess if someone who does can compare and see if the repos are similar enough (it was last updated 9 hours ago so I don't expect it to be identical).

See post #8.

dlopes7 · 2025-11-17 17:28:18

This is why people have a hard time getting into linux, not sure why make a new person life that hard.

If you are having this issue, yes you can switch to the github URL.

Post #8 only shows a diff file (that non developers don't even understand) and new folks don't know where that file even is.

If using yay:

1. Navigate to

cd ~/.cache/yay/qt5-webengine

2. Edit the file PKGBUILD
3. Change the ocurrence of

code.qt.io

to

github.com

4. Delete the folder

kde-webengine

if it exists

Run makepkg -si on that same folder

Then how can such a user determine if the patch applied in the PKGBUILD itself is safe?

If yay is preventing a user from knowing where the PKGBUILD is that not a reason to stop using yay? Along with perhaps wondering why a new user is installing an unmaintained package with know vulnerabilities.

Pfeeewww… and I already thought it's because I'm such a dick.

why make a new person life that hard

Who is making who's life hard? By what?

Delete the folder kde-webengine if it exists

Why would there be a kde-webengine directory anywhere inside the qt5-webengine clone?

If using yay

And if not? This is the first time yay is brought up by anyone.

Navigate to

And if the hypothetical yay user isn't using this as build dir?

non developers don't even understand … and new folks don't know where that file even is

So … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection ?
