Dear Adam,
[ Reason ]
It used to be enough to declare the liferea custom scheme as local to
access resources with a file scheme, but for WebKit2Gtk >= 2.32 it looks
like it is necessary to register the custom scheme with a handler.
Although WebKit2Gtk hasn't been updated to 2.32 in stable yet, I
understand that it will be relatively soon for security support reasons.
Thanks to pabs for filing the bug (in unstable). Upstream fixed the
issue already and the patch is taken from there. I had to adapt it to
apply cleanly, but upstream was nice and confirmed that what I did was sane.
[ Impact ]
The summary bar in the main window will look odd.
[ Tests ]
Unfortunately, none. I still want to teach myself how to use qemu, but
otherwise I don't have the ability to try out the liferea with the change.
[ Risks ]
The involved code is not very complex.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in stable
[ Changes ]
Adapted upstream patch to work correctly with WebKit2Gtk >= 2.32.
[ Other info ]
I have chosen to not upload already, because I can't say that the patch
has been tested yet. If you agree that the risk is low, I'll go ahead
with the upload.
Paul

+Subject: [PATCH] Register liferea custom scheme, fixes #973
+
+It used to be enought to declare the liferea custom scheme as local to
+access resources with file scheme, but for WebKit2Gtk >= 2.32 it looks
+like it is necessary to register the custom scheme with a handler.
+
+The handler doesn't do anything interesting for now as we just pass the
+content with webkit_web_view_load_bytes and use the file scheme to
+access resources, but it could be used to load Liferea resources in the
+future ...
