[DRE-maint] Bug#866647: ruby-webkit-gtk: depends on gir1.2-webkit-3.0 which is deprecated

Severity: serious

Hi,

ruby-webkit-gtk depends on gir1.2-webkit-3.0, which is deprecated in
favor of gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 (provided in Debian by webkit2gtk). It
should be ported to the new webkitgtk version so we
can remove the old, unmaintained one.

I suggest dropping ruby-webkit-gtk since it has no reverse
dependencies in Debian. Upstream offers ruby-webkit2-gtk which you
could optionally package.

Please try to do soon as we're going to try to remove the old webkitgtk soon.

I am filing this bug as "serious" since the old webkitgtk will not be
available in the next major stable release of Debian (codenamed
"buster").

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.

On behalf of the Debian WebKit Maintainers,
Jeremy Bicha
