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.
What's the difference between the slots 4, 4.1 and 5? I see the same versions 2.38.{2,3,4} in all of them. In my system I have 2 packages depending on webkit-gtk: wxGTK[webkit] and foliate. Both depend on webkit-gtk:4. Is it the most widely used slot?

I expect many users do not have webkit-gtk:4 -- I do not, for example, on a stable GNOME system. The difference between 4 and 4.1 is what version of libsoup they use, and the older libsoup (2.4) is deprecated. FWIW, bug 893718 is about moving wxGTK to webkit-gtk:4.1, but it is apparently not possible yet.
Upstream issue is at https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate/issues/931
Created attachment 854808 [details, diff] allow WebKit2 4.1
I would go ahead on patching foliate-2 as upstream is also happy with it (while they are now focusing on the future foliate-3) https://github.com/johnfactotum/foliate/issues/931#issuecomment-1470122714
In any case, webkit-gtk:4 cannot be deprecated before the problem of wxGTK is resolved (bug #893718). I need wxGTK[webkit] because wxmaxima depends on it, and I use wxmaxima. If foliate will depend on webkit-gtk:4.1, I'll have to have both webkit-gtk:4 and webkit-gtk:4.1. I'd really hate such a situation: webkit-gtk compiles for several hours, and compiling both slots would be a nightmare.
