Description Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2023-02-09 03:02:02 UTC
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.
Comment 1 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2023-02-09 03:24:09 UTC
Looks like this package depends on libsoup:2.4 :(

The package has been ported to libsoup:3.0 and webkit-gtk:4.1 upstream in https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/-/commit/edbaeb1b588edc0e969b0eedd731758aad369391, which is available in 1.4.28.

I'm confused why v1.4.29 in Gentoo doesn't depend on libsoup:3.0 or webkit-gtk:4.1.
Comment 2 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2023-02-09 14:22:35 UTC
Libsoup usage, via the "news" feature, was removed recently:
https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/-/commit/dd63c22a4aeb302e604368677903ae2b6ac67715

Oddly the build system still checks for libsoup but as far as I can see, it's not used or linked to at all.  I think they may be keeping the libsoup checks in place in case they start using it for another feature.

I can update the webkit-gtk dep to 4.1
