Description Michael Catanzaro 2016-09-14 04:55:07 UTC

The webkitgtk package will be removed from rawhide after Fedora 26 is branched due to the high number of unfixed security vulnerabilities. You must remove this dependency or your package will not be present in Fedora 27.

Please refer to [1] for a FAQ on this matter and be advised that for some packages this may require a substantial amount of work.

Note: I recommend removing Midori immediately without waiting, as its current security situation is fairly egregious [2] and quite unlikely to be fixed anytime soon.

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2016-12-27 19:09:43 UTC

I've given up waiting on a upstream release and switched to the webKitTwoOnly branch that builds against webkit2. 

It's a bit unstable under wayland (unless you run it with 'GDK_BACKEND=x11 midori'), but it does work. 

Hopefully upstream will release a real version soon.

midori has been removed from Debian and Ubuntu development releases. midori was a project from elementary OS, but the latest version of elementary OS uses Epiphany as the default browser.
