Hello I was looking to reverse deps of old webkit-gtk slots because they are obsolete and vulnerable. I noticed surf browser is still needing :2 slot, but I have found openbsd people are packaging a newer surf version that is ported to :4 slot. If I haven't failed, it seems to be generated from the webkit2 branch of upstream: http://git.suckless.org/surf/log/?h=surf-webkit2 We have still some other packages to get ported, then, there is no hurry for now but, I open this for tracking purposes and also to notify you for the case you want to start "playing" with that port :) See you
Maybe you can explain what the net-libs/webkit-gtk SLOTs actually mean.
:2 and :3 are for the old WebKit1, the first for gtk2, the second for gtk3 :4 is the only one that is maintained, it's based on Webkit2 and relies on gtk3
Created attachment 450488 [details] surf-webkit2 branch It works on my arm (a20 olinuxino micro) box. I called it surf-webkit2, i know it is a dirty solution, so rewrite it please. It was just easier for me for the beginning. Binary is still called surf.
Created attachment 450490 [details, diff] surf-webkit2 patch
Just one thing more: I have the dmenu-xyw-4.6.patch for opening urls, etc: http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/xyw
Also Fedora will kill the old webkit-gtk versions in the upcoming months... we should try to move to the new branch in the case you want to keep this
surf-webkit2 is actually behind the master branch by a few months. So we can carry our own patches or hope that upstream will merge those (few) changes in.
Good news, everyone! """ 2017-03-22 surf will “officially” make the switch from webkit1 to webkit2 soon. Current master will be pushed to surf-webkit1, and surf-webkit2 to master. The move should be done during the coming weekend or sometime next week. """ http://suckless.org/
It's out!
(In reply to hariskar from comment #9) > It's out! You mean [1] states it's out. However, it refers to [2] which right now gives me a 404. [1] http://surf.suckless.org/ [2] http://dl.suckless.org/surf/surf-2.0.tar.gz
(In reply to Jeroen Roovers from comment #10) > [2] http://dl.suckless.org/surf/surf-2.0.tar.gz I did find [3] so 2.0 is in the tree now. [3] http://git.suckless.org/surf/snapshot/surf-2.0.tar.gz
surf-2.0, seems to me, should depend on webkit-gtk:4 instead of webkit-gtk:3.
(In reply to Mykyta Holubakha from comment #12) > surf-2.0, seems to me, should depend on webkit-gtk:4 instead of webkit-gtk:3. It should? Right, comment #2. That's why you shouldn't put factual statements in the Summary. :-/
I can't say it's running very well. It seems it hangs on most URLs.
9999 ebuild is still using the old webkit. Thanks
