Hi Guix,

Web browsers relying on webkitgtk version 2.38.5 (such as Nyxt, Epiphany
or Surf) suffer from serious bugs when using this concrete webkitgtk
version.  For instance, accessing github.com results in a blank page.

I'd suggest either downgrading to 2.38.4 or bumping to 2.40.0.  Notice
that the latter is the most up-to-date stable release, see

https://webkitgtk.org/2023/03/17/webkitgtk2.40.0-released.html


My machine is not very powerful and I'm not sure whether it'll handle a
local build so that I can make the necessary checks and send a patch.

Could someone please help?  Thanks.

We can't downgrade due to security fixes applied in 2.38.5.  We should
try 2.40.0 I guess.

I sent a patch. The QA output shows almost complete breakage:

I'm testing a branch where I've grouped a couple changes (ffmpeg 6,
webkitgtk 2.40, gstreamer 2.22, etc.) that are about < 2000 rebuilds.

If it seems good, I plan to merge it to staging first, and after it's
built, if there are no blockers, I'd like to merge staging to master.

Does that sound reasonable?

Yes, it sounds good.

I just merged the wip-go-updates branch. I found the Cuirass web
interface lacking when trying to decide if the branch was ready or not.

If you feel the same way, we should identify missing features, or
consider scaling up qa.guix.gnu.org the Guix Data Service, or even
consider replacing Cuirass with the QA and GDS.

Great.  It's now in staging.  It should be mostly built in a day or two.

I'm more used to Cuirass, so it works for me!  I just look at the
overall percentage status of the branches e.g. staging vs master,
I'll have a cursory look at the 'dots' view, and if nothing catches my
eye, I'll consider it good after running the tests locally and
reconfiguring my machine/updating my profile.

We can definitively make some wish list of things that would help us.

Hi,

Closing, as webkitgtk is now at 2.40.0 on the staging branch, and if
everything goes well, I plan to merge staging into master soon (TM).
