Fedora is officially deprecating and removing WebKitGTK+ versions that expose and use webkit1's API because it was deprecated in 2013 and has over 150 unfixed security vulnerabilities. If dependent packages do not update by the time Fedora 26 is released, they will not be present in that release as the WebKitGTK package will be removed in that version (webkitgtk3, specifically, for those keeping track). The recommended solution is to move to the webkit2 API, which is maintained and will be retained in Fedora. (This is available as the webkitgtk4 package, for those of you trying to keep track of package names) Caveat Coder: The webkit2 API is only available in GTK+ 3 builds of WebKitGTK+ and has no support in GTK+ 2, which will mean we need to stop shipping the xiphos-gtk2 package and be ready to fully embrace GTK+ 3. Caveat Coder 2: The webkit2 API, even with WebKitGTK+ 4, is supposedly not supported on Windows, nor will it ever be. I don't know if the mingw-webkitgtk3 package will be maintained in Fedora, but I imagine it will go away along with its friend eventually. The Fedora team's response to people who need to support both targets is, essentially, "Good luck." I'm working to update the official rawhide build right now, to make sure that it at least builds. I don't have a rawhide machine on hand, though, if anyone runs Rawhide and can test my builds, I would be most appreciative. --Greg _______________________________________________ xiphos-devel mailing list xiphos-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/xiphos-devel
