Description Ilya Gorskin 2016-04-08 03:57:06 UTC 
Is it really necessary to wxGTK with use webkit depended on webkit:2?
Comment 1 Adam Feldman gentoo-dev 2016-04-10 21:24:58 UTC 
Firstly, please specify what versions of the software you are looking at.  Secondly, I don't understand this bug report.  The title says that wxgtk depends on webkit:4 but a quick scan of all the wxgtk ebuilds only shows a dependency on webkit:2.
Comment 2 Ilya Gorskin 2016-04-11 05:52:28 UTC 
x11-libs/wxGTK-3.0.2.0-r2 has depend on webkit:2 its really necessary?
Comment 3 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-04-14 02:53:00 UTC 
Probably.
Comment 4 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-05-13 00:11:01 UTC 
The answer is yes because we need gtk2 webkit.
Comment 5 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-05-13 00:28:16 UTC 
Oops didn't mean to remove the blocker bug.
Comment 6 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2016-05-21 12:09:12 UTC 
Is upstream aware of the problem? I think this summer distributions like Fedora and Debian will "push" strongly to kill the old/vulnerable webkitgtk slot and, hence, they could have problems :/
Comment 7 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-05-24 04:51:03 UTC 
Sure, we can pick up their patches when that happens.  I took a look at the webkit parts upstream last week and didn't see any recent changes.
