I have been trying to get webkit 2.3.2 for the the gnome3 PPA, howeverUbuntu Software Center crashes on startup for me and many other people due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1211887This bug is fixed in webkit 2.3.2-1ubuntu4 for trusty and in webkit 1.10.2-0ubuntu3 from saucy-proposed. However Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 users who have the gnome3-team/gnome3 PPA enabled will not receive this bugfix, because that PPA contains webkit 2.0.4-1ubuntu1~saucy3, which has a higher version number than the one in saucy-proposed. the PPA builders struggle with webkit, with the amd64 builds mostly timeout. Backporting the patch to 2.0.4 is an option, I think that version builds ok on the PPA's. However gnome3-staging still has a bug affected webkit 2.2.1What should I do to help get this fixed for Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 users? I could try to extract the patch from 2.3.2-1ubuntu4 and try to apply it to 2.0.4-1ubuntu1~saucy3, then see if it fixes Software Center crashes for me. Do the PPA maintainers use a VCS, or should I just apt-get source? Should I add a bug task for ubuntu-gnome to LP #1211887? We don't currently have VCS for PPA packages, so just use apt-get source, then post a debdiff once done. Tim Marius Gedminas |
