[Bug 1639200] Re: Update webkitgtk to 2.14.2 in yakkety

[Jeremy Bicha]

I tested these other apps too:

- devhelp
- The GNOME Books app (part of gnome-documents) to open an epub using libgepub
- gnome-initial-setup
- gnome-maps
- gnome-sushi (a previewer for Nautilus included in Ubuntu GNOME, activated by 
the space bar)
- gufw (uses webkit for the embedded help on the home screen)
- ubuntu-mate-welcome (I assume it uses webkit for the animations)

The test case included:

"""
It would probably be good to test a few other apps from its rdepends too:

$ reverse-depends src:webkit2gtk
"""

Since Andy mentioned "I think we need to have something clearer in the
test plan to cover general use cases other than the things which got
fixed.", should some of these be checked as well before accepting this
into yakkety-updates?

Thanks.

I confirm that epiphany-browser, evolution and yelp still work with
webkit2gtk 2.14.2-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu GNOME 16.10.

I also confirm that the installer slideshow still works.

** Description changed:

  Impact
  ==
  webkit2gtk 2.14.2 is a new bugfix release in the stable 2.14 series
  
  https://webkitgtk.org/2016/11/03/webkitgtk2.14.2-released.html
  
  Same justification as bug 1632535 ...
  
  https://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2016-0006.html was just posted. New
  security fixes are not backported to previous stable releases, so I
  believe we will be updating Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with the 2.14 series like
  we did with the 2.12 series recently.
  
  Because of the non-trivial regression potential, it's good to get some
  real-world testing first. Plus it fixes some bugs affecting 16.10.
  
  Test Case
  =
  - Run epiphany-browser, evolution and yelp since those apps currently use 
webkitgtk's unstable DOM API
  - Run the ubiquity slideshow. Instructions for doing this without needing to 
run the installer are at
  
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webkit2gtk/+bug/1618956/comments/4
  
+ Those 4 apps are the most likely to have problems with the update. It
+ would probably be good to test a few other apps from its rdepends too:
+ 
+ $ reverse-depends src:webkit2gtk
+ 
  I have done this testing from my PPA. Please don't permanently add this
  PPA to your system as I use it for a variety of packaging experiments.
  
  https://launchpad.net/~jbicha/+archive/ubuntu/arch/
  
  Regression Potential
  
  Low to Moderate. The diff is too large to be able to review very easily.
  A few months ago, a stable webkit2gtk update (2.12.4, fixed in 2.12.5) broke 
the ubiquity slideshow ( bug 1618956 ). This risk is mitigated because we are 
specifically testing for that now.

[Bug 1639200] Re: Update webkitgtk to 2.14.2 in yakkety

[Andy Whitcroft]

Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted webkit2gtk into yakkety-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webkit2gtk/2.14.2-0ubuntu1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

@Jeremy -- the overall diff looks tollerable.  I think we need to have
something clearer in the test plan to cover general use cases other than
the things which got fixed.  With that I think we are good.

- Same justification as bug 1632535. It's likely that the 2.14 series contains 
unannounced security fixes that will be not be backported to previous stable 
releases. Once the next Security Advisory is posted, we will be looking into 
releasing 2.14 to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It's good to get more real-world testing 
from Ubuntu 16.10 users first. Plus it fixes some bugs affecting 16.10.
