The problem isn't backporting in general, the problem is that in April/May there has been some major refactoring of webkit code base, and chromium 5 uses an ancient webkit copy. Most of the issues fixed in chromium 6.0.472.53 are known for a long time, but they weren't disclosed because they are unfixable in the webkit copy of chromium 5. > I think > we should be working on making a libwebkit-chrome binary package from > the webkit source so we only need to backport to one webkit codebase. Why? there isn't any package that uses that webkit copy. Cheers, Giuseppe.
