An ebuild supporting webkit is available in this overlay:
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=dev/steev.git

There's no epiphany in net-p2p, assuming you meant www-client/.

... and see bug 190347 as well.

waiting for a webkit/gtk _actual_ _release_ and if you'd read the ebuild you'd have found we already know about it. Thanks.

Reopening since 2.24 should have it on by default iirc.

I don't see why a bug should be existing, given the following:

a) epiphany-2.22 WebKit support is very experimental and to my knowledge doesn't even have cookies support; It makes no sense to put it in portage, while overlay can have 2.23 (in relation to the next point);
b) epiphany-2.23 ONLY support WebKit. There is no USE flag to have, there is just using the only browser backend that it will support in 2.24 (WebKit/GTK+) and doing the usual good packaging of this GNOME module. If we don't have it in overlay yet, then that's probably because it does not have any 2.23.x releases yet;

That said, to be ready for it, it might be useful to make a SVN snapshot from a known "good" (in regards to working together with the webkit-gtk in portage tree) revision to the overlay. I have plans to do so (unless a release comes out before I get to it), but haven't had time yet - someone else feel free to look into that, but there will be no USE flag for obvious reasons, and no webkit support for epiphany-2.22 where a USE flag would make any sense.

since last post, things have changed a bit, webkit support isn't ready yet so we'll keep the use flag in overlay but I'm not sure it'll be optional when we move things to portage. Anyway closing this fixed since it's been a while since the USE="webkit" landed in overlay
