[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#871963: birdfont: Build-Depends on libwebkitgtk-dev which is deprecated

[Jeremy Bicha <jbicha@ubuntu.com>]

Package: birdfont
Severity: serious
Version: 2.19.0-1
Tags: sid buster
User: pkg-webkit-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 webkit1

Hi,

birdfont Build-Depends on libwebkitgtk-dev, which is deprecated in favor of
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev (provided in Debian by webkit2gtk). Please drop
this Build-Depends so that we can remove the old, unmaintained one.
(Note that birdfont already Build-Depends on the new webkitgtk).

Please try to do soon as we're going to try to remove the old webkitgtk soon.

I am filing this bug as "serious" since the old webkitgtk will not be
available in the next major stable release of Debian (codenamed
"buster").

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.

On behalf of the Debian WebKit Maintainers,
Jeremy Bicha
