[mythtv-users] Qt5webkit and php

I'm trying to understand mythtv dependencies. For a number of distros
mythtv/ansible solves this problem.  However on Archlinux we depend on the
AUR, which is user maintained and sometimes falls behind.

A while back, qt5webkit, which is an AUR package fell out of favor and
mythtv could not be built. At the time it was determined that using  AUR
package  'python-pyqt5-webengine' would allow mythtv-git to be built.

A number of users don't use the mythplugins and that seems to be where some
of the webkit packages are needed.

I can build mythtv-git on Arch using a modified PKGBUILD file to make it
use fixes/35 and removing python3-future dependency.

However, today I was playing with the new cmake build on Archlinux.It seems
to build correctly with the exception of qt5webkit missing. Apparently, the
python-pyqt5-webengine will not satisfy that dependency.

Any guidance?
