drop support for webkit pre-2.10.x (e.g. 2.4)
codyopel opened this issue · comments
Webkitgtk-2.4 is currently unmaintained and and has numerous CVEs.
Packages that use 2.4 require it unfortunately in most cases, however I would still recommend removing 2.4 completely.
2.4 provides libs:
libwebkitgtk-1.0 (gtk+-2)
libwebkitgtk-3.0 (gtk+-3)
libwebkit2gtk-3.0 (gtk+-3)
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/webkitgtk.html
2.10+ provides libs:
libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0
libwebkit2gtk-4.0
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/webkitgtk2.html
Currently, unless an update is released for webkit-2.4, it will also be incompatible with gtk-3.20
