We would like to reduce the number of net-libs/webkit-gtk slots. Please check if it is possible to migrate from net-libs/webkit-gtk:4 to net-libs/webkit-gtk:4.1. This should be possible (with minor build-system patching, see https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=ea0bb7cd3b47dd02d964a5c27c010eeaea8cc8b1 for example) if net-libs/libsoup:2.4 is not pulled in by the package or any of its dependencies.
Looks like this package depends on libsoup:2.4 :( There's an upstream issue requesting it be ported to :3.0 here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gthumb/-/issues/244
Since there has been no activity upstream, Fedora disabled USE=webservices to eliminate the webkit/libsoup dependencies. Does anyone care about this? If not we could remove the flag too.
Oh, sorry, it's USE=webkit corresponding to the "webservices" meson option.
The bug has been referenced in the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=c608223753ac657edaea886a5f63944416bc28cc commit c608223753ac657edaea886a5f63944416bc28cc Author: Michael Orlitzky <mjo@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2024-10-07 17:59:44 +0000 Commit: Michael Orlitzky <mjo@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2024-10-07 18:03:30 +0000 profiles/base: mask USE=webkit for media-gfx/gthumb Disable USE=webkit for gthumb to eliminate its dependency on the old libsoup2 slot of webkit-gtk. Eventually the flag can be dropped from the ebuild, but let's see if this causes any riots first.
