Hi, thanks for the snapshot that allows us some build tests before any 
releases.

I just hit a compile error on the deprecated qtquick1 module, latest src 
tarball is for 5.5.1. For qtwebkit, there's the community releases subdir:
http://download.qt.io/community_releases/5.6/5.6.0/
(which does work)

I suggest having a look at https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-49883
and do some consideration how to handle those issues. If modules are 
deprecated but should still work for backwards compatibility, then there 
should be no change at all that prevents that. Otherwise that module is 
"somewhat supported even if we don't like to" - which creates a really 
confusing situation for packagers and porters, but (at least I) can live with 
that as long as we get updated (tagged) release tarballs :)

So, an updated tarball for qtquick1 for 5.6 would be really much appreciated 
(so that it works with 5.6.x and 5.7.x)

Thanks :)
