Hello All- WebKitGTK 2.12 is out. It probably won't be a hard dep of GNOME 3.20 when it releases, but it's meant to be part of the GNOME 3.20 release cycle, sop it'd be good to get it out in advance so it can get tested with GNOME <= 3.18 as well as other toolkits/DEs/Xembed-applications to make sure it doesn't (or isn't likely to) break anything already (or soon to be) out. Absolutely no rush on this; I don't need it, am not likely to in the immediate future, and am guessing that there won't be a single feature in GNOME 3.20 that *needs* some extra bit of functionality present in 2.12. That said, the sooner it's added, the sooner it can get vetted and put in the main tree (and eventually unkeyworded) so it can be pulled in by things that might need it in future. -Robin K.

Created attachment 432976 [details, diff] webkit-gtk-2.12.2.ebuild.diff EAPI-6 ebuild diff based on the ebuild from Heather's gentoo-gnome overlay. Not yet ready for portage as ruby-single.eclass still doesn't support EAPI-6. I already pinged graaff about this as the eclass works with EAPI-6.
Created attachment 432978 [details, diff] webkit-gtk-2.12.2.ebuild.diff Sorry guys, previous patch hat the wrong files in the PATCHES array and was incomplete. Here's the full patch which also modifies two of the patches in FILESDIR to be -p1 conform for eapply. The limitation wrt. ruby-single.eclass still stands.

We are at 2.12.3 since about 1 month which means 2.12.4 is coming soon quite likely. There also was a security advisory on May 30. http://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2016-0004.html As far as I can see we (Gentoo) are vulnerable...
