## Notes

---

### [jdstrand](https://launchpad.net/~jdstrand)

qt4-x11 unmaintained upstream (see README.webkit for details)
webkit is a fork of khtml from kdelibs. kdelibs5 is farther from
it, while qt4-x11 attempts to unify khtml and webkit

### [mdeslaur](https://launchpad.net/~mdeslaur)

although I don't know what the upstream patch is, RH stated
that it didn't affect their kde4libs versions, so I'm removing
it.
can't find info on webkit
