I can backport vala, but isn't having to use a new vala version to use a new webkitgtk a design bug? Can't we include vala bindings of webkitgtk in a separate package or part of webkitgtk? Or is webkitgtk considered part of vala itself?
Well, that's how vala works. If upstream (ie, webkit2gtk here) doesn't maintain
the bindings, there is no other better way. Anway, you don't need to pull a whole new vala version for this. All you might need could be just two patches: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vala/commit/8a2e9e0f01b82bd81ab9ddf895733c6bf551fccc and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vala/commit/ff57dee633975cba39883af7caf4d21e4909402e Regards, Mohammed Sadiq
