Basically, you want to make sure your package builds when switching the pkg-config version in configure.ac to webkit2gtk-4.0. There is API documentation here: http://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/stable/ Stable DOM (web process) API: http://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkitdomgtk/stable/ Deprecated API (what you are porting away from): http://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkitgtk/stable/index.html If your app doesn't use the DOM API, the port should be straightforward. Your app will probably work once you manage to compile it. Be sure to check if any signals you connect to have been renamed. If your app does use the DOM API, you have more work as you need to create a web process extension to access this API. You can use any form of IPC to communicate between the UI process and the web process; D-Bus is a good option. Documentation here: http://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/stable/WebKitWebExtension.html Epiphany serves as a good (if complex) example of how to write a web extension: https://git.gnome.org/browse/epiphany/tree/embed/web-extension Hope that helps a bit... happy to answer more questions.
