Description Michael Catanzaro 2016-09-14 04:42:39 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.

I think the next release will support non-obsolete versions.

Comment 2 Dominic Hopf 2016-11-14 00:03:30 UTC
I've successfully managed to build geany-plugins for Fedora Rawhide with disabling the following plugins which had direct Requires to webkitgtk:

* devhelp
* markdown
* webhelper

I'm in contact with upstream (and in fact, Matt himself actually is upstream), to hopefully update those plugins to use webkit2, and thus, I can enable these plugins again.

Good, this was probably the best approach to save the rest of the plugins.

You have to upgrade Geany to GTK+ 3 before you can use WebKit2, so it's going to be quite some effort.
