#51620: py-pyqt5: fix DBus module build and pyversion conflicts, support multiple
Qt5 ports
-------------------------+--------------------------------

Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: | Port: py-pyqt5
-------------------------+--------------------------------
This patch addresses a few issues with the new `port:py-pyqt5`:
- the DBus component wouldn't build because the dbus-python.h (or else the
dbus.h) headerfile wasn't found
- QtWebEngine is a huge component which is currently used by only (very)
software projects and probably even less ports. It is not installed by
default by the `port:qt5` metaport, nor by my own `port:qt5-kde`.
Therefore, I suggest building it via a variant (which can become a default
variant once QtWebEngine gains traction).
- the Designer and QML plugins do not carry Python version information in
their name, causing installation conflicts between `py27-pyqt5`,
`py34-pyqt5` and `py35-pyqt5`. The configure script has`--designer-
plugindir` and `--qml-plugindir` options (probably for exactly this
reason) that allow to avoid such conflicts. I have not yet tested whether
this is completely transparent under normal use.
- the Python PortGroup contains code which overrides the dependency
information set by the Qt5 PortGroup. This will become an issue when my
`port:qt5-kde`is committed (which is intended to be a drop-in replacement
for users accepting to build ports that don't prefer it from source). I
have submitted a convenience procedure to be added to the Qt5 PortGroup
(#51619) which hides the details of setting up the appropriate Qt5
dependencies; a simple `qt5.depends_component qt5` will pull in `port:qt5`
(or `port:qt5-kde`) and the optional `qt5.depends_component qtwebengine`
will pull in the corresponding QtWebEngine subport.
Until that procedure is added to the Qt5 PortGroup it will of course be
defined locally...
