Have most linux distributions decided to re-insert Qt webkit source into their Qt 5.6 package or just Arch?

And is there a src rpm (old Redhat person here) or some other source package (or spec file or list of patches, etc) that will show exactly how they integrated Qt Webkit source with the official Qt 5.6 source and what build options they have changed?

Also do linux distributions for Qt 5.6 enable mp3 and mp4 support when they build QWebEngine (these are disabled in official Qt source builds and must be re-enabled by passing a build option)?

I may have to start building my own Qt 5.6 (with webkit put back) and was wondering how difficult that is and what build options are typically used by Linux distributions, so we have some idea of what we can expect to work "out-of-the-box" for Linux users of Qt 5.6

Thanks,

KevinH
