Description
The paid-for qt-5.15.10 was released on 7th June.
Several misc security fixes and only a few CVE fixes which suggests newer chromium continues to have new vulnerabilities.
But among the changes were fixes for (if I read it right) python3 on macOS by changing a file in the toolkit - nothing similar to that file for linux. However, with that and another change to make a maintenance script work with python3 I wondered if it was time to look at trying to use python3. Found a gentoo bug report mentioning a qtwebengine-5.15.3_p20220406-patchset which as usual seemed absent from most mirrors. FWIW, it's a tarball at https://dev.gentoo.org/~asturm/distfiles/ The main part is from Arch (and possibly out of date), but the config part (which needs changing to look for python3 instead of python for BLFS) is separate and in the end I managed to change that.
Therefore I propose to move qtwebengine to python3. I'll send more details to -dev.

Replying to pierre:
Qt updated in the book. I'm all for moving to python3!
Thanks, nice work there. I'm still tweaking my patch (added your gcc-12 sed, now on my first build for 5.15.5)

Thought I was ready to do this, then realised I'd used all cores (8) when measuring. Machine is currently running build tests on other things, "‘Till then, there will be a short delay."[1]
