Epiphany is replacing midori as the browser in oe-core recipe set
and poky distribution.

I just got caught up on oe-core and:

Please move the midori recipe and dependencies to
meta-oe when this change is merged to oe-core. That would help
anyone that needs to provide a transition warning. Of course it
adds more cruft to meta-oe but that's a separate problem.

Midori depends on an ancient, no longer maintained Webkit1
implementation with known security issues [1]. Adding it to meta-oe
requires that:

a) webkit-gtk is at least updated to the latest version of the no longer
maintained Webkit1 implementation (1.8.3 -> 2.4.9)
2) that version is patched with every fix that other distributions have
done, including [1]

I can do this, but at the expense of updating other packages in oe-core
that need updating before we hit a stabilization milestone. Do you
specifically know someone who needs such an extra-cushioned transition?

Thanks for the summary.

After considering the situation, I agree that it's not worth the effort
to add midori to meta-oe.
