Hello, I just noticed that webkit2gtk was disabled on big-endian targets without reaching out to porters asking for help and I think this change should be reverted. The reason for disabling big-endian targets was that Skia is supposedly not supported on big-endian targets. However, Skia has always had some issues on big-endian targets but there were always easy to fix. Oracle Solaris always ships a recent version of Firefox also for SPARC and there are definitely patches for fixing Skia on big-endian patches [1]. Please let's work out fixing Skia and webkit2gtk on big-endian targets and not just disable such an important package so many architectures for just a bug that can be fixed. Thanks, Adrian > [1] > https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/tree/master/components/desktop/firefox/patches -- .''`.
