Bug#749253: hotot-gtk: depends on python-webkit which is deprecated
Package: hotot-gtk
Version: 1:0.9.8.14-3
Severity: important
User: pkg-webkit-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs python-webkit webkit1
Hi,
hotot-gtk depends on python-webkit, which is deprecated and going to
be removed from the archive. hotot-gtk should switch to using the
GObject Introspection bindings for webkit, ideally gir1.2-webkit2-3.0
for Webkit2 and gtk+3 as upstream has already dropped WebKit1 (so
gir1.2-webkit-1.0 and gir1.2-webkit-3.0 are likely to be dropped from
Debian in the near future). This would mean switching to GObject
Introspection for other bindings as well, e.g. GLib and GTK+, so
making the switch to GTK+ 3 at the same time would make a lot of
sense.
For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2].
If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.
