It relies on obsolete and vulnerable :2 slot and upstream looks dead since 2012. Hence, I would simply treeclean this
As pointed out on the mailing list there is still action. The this issue for reference: https://github.com/mason-larobina/luakit/issues/299 luakit-crowd has done commits until 2015, aidanholm did some work to port it to webkit-gtk:4 and gtk3. So luakit is not entirely dead.
Is anyone interested in taking care of it?
There is actually working going on with this project. I have been in contact with the developer. I would be willing to be proxy maintainer of the package. I use this browser on my PowerBook G4 (dual booting gentoo and debain) and PowerMac G5 (gentoo ppc64). Thanks Herminio
There is activity on github. I have seen commits to move luakit to gtk-3 and webkitgtk-3.0. You can check it out here https://github.com/luakit/luakit. Like I said I am willing to be a proxy maintainer. Ragards, Herminio
Is there a release with new WebKit already? If not, is it suitable for a snapshot? Write an ebuild, submit it here or a pull request, and you'll get the job :-).
I am tracking the changes on github. Once the changes get pushed I will begin writing the ebuild.
https://github.com/aidanholm/luakit already has wiped out gtk2 and completely moved to wekbit2gtk-4.0.pc. No idea if he plans to join luakit project and push his changes there. At least it is working really well (as long as you are not running into webkit-gtk issues...)

I am use your patch and test it using my local overlay. The only this I would is pcc and ppc64 to keywords. I am running Gentoo on PowerBook G4 and a PowerMac G5.

I am running Gentoo on PowerBook G4 and > a PowerMac G5. live ebuilds are usually unkeyworded, so there won't be ppc and ppc64 for -9999. The snapshot part also needs some work (left that as it was besides updating to the new upstream, because currently there are no webkit2/gtk3-releases yet). Either we use our own snapshots from time to time or we drop that part from the ebuild until upstream (luakit/luakit or aidanholm/luakit) tag their first webkit2gtk release.
From what I have noticed luakit/luakit has yet merge the PR to get to webkit-3. I am going to see if the lead developer is considering using aidanholms/luakit work to move to webkit2gtk.

It looks like it won't happen too soon: https://github.com/aidanholm/luakit/issues/82#issuecomment-231575660
I know that is my thread I started.
(In reply to herminio.hernandezjr from comment #12) > I know that is my thread I started. Hm, OK, I already thought it was you (but one never knows ;)). BTW.: webkitgtk-3.0.pc (whic his what http://github.com/luakit/luakit/pull/224 tries to do) won't change anything regarding this removal request as it requires the old, unmaintained and insecure version of webkit-gtk. It needs to be webkit2gtk-4.0.pc (which AFAIK requires >=webkit-gtk-2.6, or was it 2.8?).
ok based on what adain said do you have a problem with the 9999.eduild to be based on his fork?
Frnaz, Where you able to successfully build the package?

Which gtk version do you have installed? Could you upload the entire build.log? For me it (of course) built fine, oterwse I wouldn't have posted the ebuild ;)
I have gtk+-3.16 installed. However I checked packages.gentoo.org that gtk+-3.18 is listed as stable for ppc. So I am updating my @world and will try again. I will post my build log soon.

(In reply to herminio.hernandezjr from comment #18) > Created attachment 440344 [details] > build log > > here is my build log Is that build.log with gtk+-3.16 or gtk+-3.18? AFAICS that function got introduced with 3.18: GDK_AVAILABLE_IN_3_18 void gtk_overlay_reorder_overlay (GtkOverlay *overlay, GtkWidget *child, gint position);
Created attachment 440402 [details] ebuild The build log was against gtk3.16. This morning I updated @world and am now using gtk3.18. I was ablt to build luakit. However the browser keeps crashing. I have placed a bug report upstresam if you want to see what it is. I am attaching my ebuild so you can see what I did. The only difference from your diff is that for me I need to have this LUA_PKG_NAME=lua instead of LUA_PKG_NAME=lua5.1. 'lua5.1' was not recognized by pkg-config. rican-linux@gentoo-ppc ~/Documents $ pkg-config --list-all |grep lua lua Lua - An Extensible Extension Language
I'm sorry but this is taking too long, with no clear perspective. When luakit is usable again, we'll start over with no legacy. commit 2963b7d8bed43469f1f217d6fc57852886910361 Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: Wed Aug 10 18:13:03 2016 Commit: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> CommitDate: Wed Aug 10 18:16:50 2016 www-client/luakit: Remove last-rited pkg, #584186
I am sorry for the late response. The package does build with the new ebuild using the newer WebKit.
