I believe that QtWebKit has been removed from
the source(s), as QtWebEngine is now the only
supported solution, and QtWebKit is being
maintained independently over at
   https://github.com/annulen/webkit

"Someone" (and maybe that someone is you?) is
going to have to step up and port from QtWebKit
to QtWebEngine(*).  The initial steps can be
mechanized (mostly it is just rename functions),
but there are always more subtle changes required.

Here is a quick porting document (there are
others floating around too if you are going to
do the work)
   https://wiki.qt.io/Porting_from_QtWebKit_to_QtWebEngine

It is possible someone else has a stash somewhere
with initial work that may be valuable, if you are
going to look into such a port, so you might want
to ask that explicitly if you are going to start the
port.



(*) I know it has been discussed as a long
term developer task previously, so I think
it may be on someones list as something
someone is going to have to do, eventually.
