Bug 893718 – x11-libs/wxGTK: Migrate from net-libs/webkit-gtk:4 to :4.1 if possible

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matt Turner 2023-02-09 03:04:18 UTC]

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.

Not that simple. There are references to symbols that are not defined in libsoup-3.0, e.g. SOUP_STATUS_CANCELLED:

Is there any place upstream to track the progress on this? Last time I searched for it, I couldn't find any bug report or similar :/

Any chance for backporting this to the 3.2-gtk3 slot?

It seems versions newer than 3.2.3 should fix this as they include the needed patch:
