Description Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev

I know that the Gnome team is already aware of this as part of Gnome 43, but I'm opening this to ask for a new USE flag that controls PDF.js as part of the update.

Disabling PDF.js in webkit-gtk-2.38.x was suggested to me as the eventually-solution to treating PDF files like any other download in epiphany:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/1750

Passing -DENABLE_PDFJS=ON/OFF to the build should do it.

Are you going to flip out if we enable it by default?

Per-package defaults was my preferred solution to that problem, so no, unless you intend to enable it for every package on every profile by adding USE=pdf to profiles/base/make.defaults.

Of course I think it should be off by default though. There's no justification for overriding a user's clear indication that he doesn't want PDF support sans USE=pdf.

    net-libs/webkit-gtk: Version bump to 2.38.0
    
    The slotting is to handle libsoup3 and libsoup2. Some packages from
    GNOME 43 are requiring webkit2gtk-4.1 (gtk3 with libsoup3), for example
    GNOME boxes.
