Bug 891985 – webkit-gtk Use Flag to Set GTK4=OFF

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description gentoo 2023-01-24 23:16:00 UTC]

net-libs/webkit-gtk 2.38.3-r500

Is there a use flag that can be added to this package to flip the "USE_GTK4=ON" option to "USE_GTK4=OFF?"

I am unable to build packages that requre webkit-gtk to built without this flag. Ex: www-client/nyxt 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install webkit-gtk 2.38.3-r500
2.Package is built with USE_GTK4=ON
3.Unable to build other packages requiring webkit to be built with USE_GTK4=OFF


Expected Results:  
Set use flag to set USE_GTK4=OFF

Sounds like you want webkit-gtk:4.1 (aka 2.38.3-r410)

They use different slots and can be installed at same time based on the gtk version you need, aka -r410(:4.1) is gtk4=off, -r500(:5) is gtk4=on (r0(:4) is for libsoup2 compat)

Oy vey. Yes, you're right I need webkit-gtk:4.1. But it has USE_SOUP2=OFF. 
Is there a way to install webkit 2.38.3-r410 with USE_SOUP2=ON. 

I had downloaded the -r500 ebuild and set it to USE_GTK4=OFF so I could have it still build with libsoup2. 

Thanks.

webkit-gtk:4 is libsoup2=on + gtk4=off
