I don't think we can enable webkit2 yet unless we can still build a webkit1 library for gtk2, there are reverse dependencies that still need it. Also, while there was talk of stabilizing the API for webkit2, idk if that's happened yet, so porting might still end up being a nightmare.

[07:49] <seb128> micahg, no, nobody has been working on webkit in Ubuntu for cycle, I just took up on doing the updates previous cycle because they were stalling [07:50] <seb128> micahg, though we might be able to sync 1.9.2 from Debian experimental, I planned to look at that [07:50] <micahg> seb128: do we need to take 1.10 for Q? [07:50] <seb128> micahg, "need to", I don't know but they follow the GNOME cycle and I would not be surprised if i.e epiphany requires 1.9 [07:53] <micahg> seb128: ok, thanks, if you don't get to it by next week, I might take a look at syncing/merging 1.8.1 from unstable (would prefer you do it though :)) [07:54] <seb128> micahg, does it mean you prefer not to go for 1.9? why? [07:54] <micahg> seb128: well, the idea was to support 1.8 for 5 years, if Q is on 1.8, that's one less extra thing to worry about [07:55] <micahg> OTOH, if 1.10 doesn't have any ABI breaks, might be worth jumping [07:55] <seb128> micahg, right, let's see what goes in 1.9 and if GNOME starts depending on it [07:55] <seb128> micahg, I will let you know [07:55] <micahg> seb128: thanks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webkit/+bug/1005682/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
