[Pkg-crosswire-devel] Bug#866632: Bug#866632: bibledit-gtk: depends on libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 which is deprecated

[Teus Benschop]

Hi Matt,

Upgrading both dependencies seems to be harder to do it simultaneously,
than your first approach, to do the upgrading in sequence.

I am not experienced with GTK3 and Webkit2Gtk at all, so what I am going to
say may have to be taken with a grain of salt, and may not be workable at
all. The suggestion I was thinking of is whether it would also be possible
to do the upgrade to Gtk3 first, while still using Webkit1, so this is kind
of doing gtk first, then webkit. As said, I am entirely out of this area of
development now, so it may not make sense, or it may not work.

If all else fails, I think upgrading both dependencies at once is
unavoidable, which actually gives you more work, or at least, more work to
do at once.

Blessings,

Teus.
