Subject: uzbl: depends on libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 which is deprecated

Source: uzbl
Severity: important

Hi,

uzbl depends on libwebkitgtk-1.0-0, which is deprecated in favor of
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37. uzbl should be ported to the new webkitgtk
version so we can remove the old, unmaintained one.

As an intermediate step you can port uzbl to libwebkitgtk-3.0-0,
which has a similar API to libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 but is based on GTK+
3.0. Thus you'd be porting uzbl to GTK+ 3.0 first, using
libwebkitgtk-3.0-0, and you could then port to libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
later. But note that libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 is also deprecated.

Please try to do this before the Stretch release as we're going to
try to remove libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 this cycle.

We'll bump this to serious when the list of rdeps is small and we're
getting ready to removing libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 completely.

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.

Emilio

Subject: Raising severity to serious for packages depending on webkitgtk

Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2017 10:25:02 -0400

Control: severity -1 serious
Control: tags -1 -stretch

We do not intend to release the next stable release of Debian
(codenamed "buster") with webkitgtk. Therefore, I am raising the
severity of this issue to serious. Please drop the dependency on
webkitgtk because webkitgtk will be removed from Debian soon.

On behalf of the Debian GNOME team,
Jeremy Bicha
