Bug 496210 – Need update webkit-gtk:2 with 1.8.3 to 1.10.2 as in ArchLinux

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Valery Shatunov 2013-12-27 18:12:56 UTC]

In ArchLinux webkit-gtk2-based(I use dwb browser) browser work most better than in Gentoo Linux.
I became search this problem and eliminated a big disadvantage.
Then i found this problem - this been various versions webkit-gtk2 between two distributions.

In ArchLinux pacman installed webkit-gtk2-1.10.2 and emerge installed webkit-gtk2-1.8.3!
Even i cannot install webkit-gtk2-1.10.2 because "emerge webkit-gtk:2(And depends many browsers)" given version 1.8.3 but me need version 1.10.2 which better work than old version - 1.8.3.

webkit-gtk-1.10.2 support gtk2 therefore please update ebuild webkit-gtk:2.
Please take my report in order to hold my system up-to-date and better.
In webkit-gtk-1.8.3 adobe flash almost bad play but in version 1.10.2 it is a the best!

So i forced to keep two version webkit-gtk: first 1.8.3(For satisfy dependencies(i installed dwb and dwb require webkit-gtk:2 which installs 1.8.3 version)) and second 1.10.2(For better work)

Thanks for advance!

Reproducible: Always

You're not making any sense, even where you're being intelligible.

Actually that does make sense, but gnome herd might be strongly opposed.

net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.10.x was in the tree for awhile, but only for slot 3.
slot 2 got stuck on 1.8.x.

They are in different slots, thus this should just work.

Actually the point of this bug is inside bug 499306.

Can you read the Description prior to commenting? It mentions 1.x versions only.

Doesn't matter - other than webkit2 API (which actually was already in late 1.x series, though marked as experimental) and switch to gstreamer 1.0, it's backwards compatible.

You can use the See Also field for that.

[Comment 8 Rafał Mużyło 2014-02-03 03:35:26 UTC]

TBH, if not for this bug being initially (IMHO prematurely) resolved as invalid, bug 499306 would have simply be a duplicate (that is, if it would get filed in the first place).
