Anybody can help to test whether the out current webkit workable?

Maybe by install epiphany-browser and use it?

All of my board/laptops are working as build nodes.

We'll see if we can run it up on our 3A laptop today. We've not modified the laptop from production installation yet, so it may take us a little bit to get up to speed with the process.

If it work, can you reply to
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124370
and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729572
?

OK, will do.

I'll let you know how we get on. If somebody else is/was thinking of trying it out then please still do :-)
