Description Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev

2017-06-11 22:59:18 UTC

pywebkitgtk is a binding for webkit-gtk:2 it seems. webkit-gtk:2 is vulnerable to 300+ known security issues. webkit-gtk:4 comes with introspection support for the modern webkit-gtk python support story instead.

Please ACK last riting and removing this package after the last consumers are all last rited or gone too.
