1.9.91 has resolved the API issues, it's available in the ubuntu-desktop ppa for i386, some issues remain to resolve before upload:
- the .symbols need to be updated for some of the cpp symbols that changed - the dh_makeshlibs level should probably be restored to -c4 for the archive upload - the build fails on amd64 on the ppa buildds, it might be a toolchain limitation, I've opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/+bug/1043507 about that Upstream pointed to https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/1.10.x which includes that item https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94435 "[GTK] Split WebCore/platform into a separate library" that might workaround the amd64 issue and is planned for 1.10... Turning the bug to a FFe as well because at this point the update doesn't only have bug fixes since previous versions failed landing. The rational to update is that we are on an early version of that unstable serie and we will probably want to update to the stable version for obvious reasons (less bugs, easier to maintain, etc) ** Also affects: webkit (Ubuntu Quantal) Importance: Wishlist Status: Triaged ** Changed in: webkit (Ubuntu Quantal) Status: Triaged => In Progress ** Summary changed: - Update to 1.9.90 + FFE: Update webkit to 1.9.91 ** Bug watch added: bugs.webkit.org/ #94435 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94435 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to webkit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005682 Title: FFE: Update webkit to 1.9.91 Status in Webkit Direct Port: Fix Released Status in “webkit” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “webkit” source package in Quantal: In Progress Bug description: From http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/05/25/%23ubuntu- desktop.html#t07:49: [07:49] <micahg> seb128: is anyone working on webkit in quantal? [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/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
