epiphany-44.2

[Bruce Dubbs]

New major version.

[Douglas R. Reno]

Now 44.2

[Xi Ruoyao]

Damn it, it now requires a webkitgtk built with GTK 4. But the other GNOME parts still needs a webkitgtk with GTK3.

Maybe building webkitgtk twice is inevitable now :(.

Sure looks like it. :(

Guess I'll go restart my WebKit update now...

Thinking about doing it this way:

mkdir webkit-gtk3
pushd webkit-gtk3
cmake [...]/ninja
popd
mkdir webkit-gtk4
pushd webkit-gtk4
cmake [...]/ninja
popd

and then at install:

pushd webkit-gtk3
ninja install
popd
pushd webkit-gtk4
ninja install
popd

Should we separate them into two pages instead? Then it will be easier to track "which package needs which WebKitGTK".

[Douglas R. Reno]

That's a good question. Let's ask Bruce over in IRC.

I'm currently running a test build with both in the same script, but don't have a problem splitting things off.
