Bug#622371: transition: webkit
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
I plan to upload webkit 1.3.x (soon to be 1.4.0) to unstable. What
this involves:
webkit now provides two parallel-installable libraries:
libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 and libwebkitgtk-3.0-0; the former built with gtk2
and the later built with gtk3
libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 superseds libwebkit-1.0-2 (currently in unstable),
but is also parallel installable with it
webkit 1.3.x provides a libwebkit-dev package to automatically
transition packages using gtk2-based webkit to the new
libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 binary (the library is still API-compatible)
One option we can consider is removing the libwebkit-dev transitional
package from the 1.3.x webkit so that we can control which packages
migrate to the newer library, and readd it when we want the
mass-migration to happen
Bellow I list the rdepends for libwebkit-1.0-2. Newer versions of some
of these will actually use libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev, like epiphany and
devhelp.
