** Description changed: - . + Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception: + + 1. It is a release goal for the Ubuntu Desktop team to ship GNOME 44 as + completely as possible in Ubuntu 23.04 + + 2. We were late to start working on packaging epiphany in part because + webkitgtk was going through bigger development changes this cycle. We + will do better in the future. We recognized that we would need to + package gcr4 in order to package epiphany 44. We had avoided this for + GNOME 43, but now there is a need for both versions of gcr to be in + Ubuntu (roughly, the old version is for gtk3 apps and the new version is + for gtk4). NEW source package processing takes some time. + + 3. Epiphany 44 is a major update. It includes the switch from GTK3 to + GTK4 which has been worked on upstream for several cycles. + + 4. Epiphany is not included by default in any official Ubuntu flavor. + Nothing significant depends on epiphany. + + 5. Ideally, we package the latest version of web browsers like Epiphany. + + + Changelog entries since current lunar version 43.1-1: + + epiphany-browser (44~rc-1) experimental; urgency=medium + + * New upstream release (LP: #2011851) + * Build with GTK4 & libadwaita + * Build with webkitgtk 6.0 + * Build-Depend on libgstreamer1.0-dev + * Build with gcr4 + * debian/rules: Disable granite integration + since granite-7 7.2 isn't in Unstable yet + * Add patch to disable the webview test since it doesn't work + in our build environment + * Cherry-pick patches to fix build with latest webkitgtk + + -- Thu, 16 Mar 2023 13:28:37 -0400
