[DRE-maint] Bug#752846: ruby-webkit-gtk2: bindings for deprecated webkit1 gtk+2 library

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Package: ruby-webkit-gtk2
Severity: important

Hi,

ruby-webkit-gtk2 are the bindings for the deprecated libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
library, which is the old WebKit1 API built against GTK+ 2. You already
ship ruby-webkit-gtk, which are the bindings for WebKit1 built for
GTK+ 3 (libwebkitgtk-3.0-0).

Since libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is deprecated and ruby-webkit-gtk2 has no rdeps,
it'd be great if you would stop providing it. That would allow us to drop
gir1.2-webkit-1.0, as ruby-webkit-gtk2 is the only rdep.

Also note that libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 is also deprecated, so you may want to
drop ruby-webkit-gtk as well. The non-deprecated webkit API is WebKit2,
which is shipped as libwebkit2gtk-3.0-25 / gir1.2-webkit2-3.0.

Thanks,
Emilio
