Notes


mdeslaur

webkit receives limited support. For details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#webkit webkit in Ubuntu uses the JavaScriptCore (JSC) engine, not V8 wpewebkit isn't used by anything of importance in the archive, except for cog, an example container for wpewebkit. There is no point in attempting to backport newer wpewebkit versions to the archive. As such, marking as ignored. It is not feasible to fix webkitgtk, qtwebkit-source, and qtwebkit-opensource-src. Marking them as ignored. It is no longer possible to build new webkit2gtk versions on jammy and earlier. Marking as ignored. Since 2.54.0, webkit2gtk no longer builds on big-endian platforms due to the switch to Skia. It is no longer possible to update stable Ubuntu releases to newer versions of webkit2gtk. Marking as deferred for now.
