Hello.

Hey Andrew,
 

I have seen a bug that kdewebkit is failing to build (406342). I was looking
why the person was building that module in the first place.

Afaict, this module is not used in any project. Searching in repo-metadata by
"kdewebkit" word, I see it is:

Listed in `dependency-data-kf5-qt5` and in `dependency-data-stable-kf5-qt5`,
without any dependency, and no any other project points to it as a dependency.

Listed in `kf5-frameworks.ksb` to be ignored:
```
module-set frameworks
    repository kde-projects
    use-modules frameworks

    #tag v5.75.0-rc1
    branch kf5
    ignore-modules kdewebkit kuserfeedback
end module-set
```

and also listed in `kf6-frameworks.ksb` as ignored:
```
module-set frameworks
    repository kde-projects
    use-modules frameworks
    ignore-modules kdelibs4support kdewebkit khtml kjsembed kmediaplayer kinit
kjs kross kdesignerplugin kemoticons kxmlrpcclient
    cmake-options -DBUILD_WITH_QT6=ON
end module-set
```

The projects-invent/frameworks/kdewebkit/metadata.yaml contains the entry
```
repoactive: true
```

Maybe this should be marked as `repoactive: false` and removed from ignore-
modules?

The repoactive flag mirrors the status of the repository on Gitlab (whether it is active or archived). 

As Frameworks as a compatibility promise, this repository will need to continue to limp around unfortunately until KF5 ceases to make releases.
 

The project readme says that it is removed from kf6.



Cheers,
Ben
