Bug#1061412: font-manager: Stop using webkit2gtk 4.0
Source: font-manager
Version: 0.8.8-3
Severity: serious
Tags: trixie sid
User: pkg-webkit-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: webkit-4.0
Forwarded: https://github.com/FontManager/font-manager/issues/343
Debian's webkit2gtk maintainers intend to stop building the 4.0 API
soon. Please switch to using the 4.1 API which is the same as the 4.0
API except that it uses libsoup3 instead of libsoup2.4.
The webkit feature is only used by the Google Fonts integration
feature. It is possible to build font-manager without that feature.
Or someone could port the feature to use libsoup3. It was actually
already done in the experimental GTK4 branch, but I don't think it was
done in a way that is easy to backport.
There is documentation and examples at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsoup/-/issues/218
On behalf of the webkit2gtk maintainers,
Jeremy Bícha
