I think porting elementary-capnet-assist and elementary-photos might
be relatively straightforward, as the things they do with embedded web
content is simple. I'll open tickets with the upstream projects, but
given that these two packages continue to work with webkit2gtk-4.0,
that's not a high priority right now.
Agreed, no rush here as long as things continue working. I don't know what Michael's timeframe is for removing webkit2gtk-4.0, but I would expect it to be at least a year from now to give time for things to transition over.
Thanks for being proactive here!
However, for elementary-mail, switching to webkit2gtk-4.1 is a
requirement to make it work again, given that e-d-s now links against
libsoup-3, and elementary-mail currently only builds against
webkit2gtk-4.0, which depends on libsoup-2.4. Am I understanding this
correctly?
Yes, that's entirely correct.
