I am merging this bug with Bug#790211, which is also (indirectly) about migrating Midori to GTK+3. I am putting #801281 on the Bcc so that it will receive this message, but let's discuss the GTK+3 thing on #790211. On a side note, I had a brief chat with an upstream developer who told me GTK+2 is still the "default" for Midori, but I guess that tends to change over time, and I'm happy to somewhat lead this on Debian. > i've modified the package locally; a working version can be obtained by > the following changes (to build a gtk3 version only -- other distros > seem to build both, is there actually need for that?): > > * add -DUSE_GTK3=1 to the dh_auto_configure options > * use newer build dependencies: > > libwebkitgtk-dev -> libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev > libgtk2.0-dev -> libgtk-3-dev > libunique-dev -> libunique-3.0-dev Yeah, I also have a local branch with GTK+3 Midori here for a while now. If you're going to test GTK+3 Midori on your machine, I recommend you to use libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev instead of libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev, because that's what I'll use when I upload a new version of Midori (as is explained on #790211, libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev will be deprecated soon). > i'll be using that build for some more time and report gtk3 related > problems here. i'm actively using several addons with no issues so far, > but did not test browser plugins. Thank you for doing this. As I said, I am also testing GTK+3 Midori on my machine, although I have already found a few minor issues. For example, when I go to a website that has self-signed certificates (and that is not on my trust list), I see a very messy warning page: <http://sergiodj.net/~sergio/midori-ssl-cert.png> I still haven't had the time to investigate this, and this is apparently not even Midori's fault, but it's not good either way. Anyway, thanks for this. Expect to see a GTK+3 version of Midori soon.
