The latest Debian release (2.0.4-1) builds much better on the PPA builders (it built the first time instead of needing retries).
However, since I don't have powerpc hardware and the PPAs don't build for powerpc, there's no way I can guarantee that this version of webkit will build on Ubuntu (it fails on Debian). And I don't have enough porting experience to fix it if it does fail to build. I can't be sure that anyone else in Ubuntu will care enough to fix the build failure either. So unless the powerpc build is fixed in Debian soon, I think we'll have to wait until early in the 14.04 cycle to do this upload. -- 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/1186558 Title: Please merge webkitgtk 2.0.4 from Debian Status in “webkit” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “webkit” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: WebKitGTK 2.0 is a dependency of Epiphany 3.8. The webkitgtk developers have now enabled webkit2 by default (and dropped the previous webkit api to maintenance mode). The Debian packaging enables both webkit and webkit2.
