How about handling it the same way we handle old GtkWebKit versions?
As soon as F26 is branched from Rawhide (expected in 2017-02-21),
retire this package? This would give package maintainers enough time
to get their packages fixed (about 9 months) until Fedora 27 is
released. Any package that has not been ported until then is
unmaintained or under-maintained anyway and should not be in Fedora
due to other (compatibility, stability) reasons.
The same should probably be done for qtwebkit (Qt4) and qt5-qtwebkit
(Qt5) …. Is there any procedure for this? I cannot find the F27
proposed change to remove webkitgtk and webkitgtk3 either.
Before we have any decision , we should have a map of what will be
retired , since one of the package is wxGTK3, we have wxGTK3-devel and
and wx3-GTK2-devel (which looks that still works better) and a bunch of
package depend on it , so 9 months could not be much .
Remove just gstreamer-0.10 and not all webkitgtk and webkitgtk3 it
will IMO a bad plan , we have some good software that is still based on
it , some of them are in RPMFusion .
wxGTK3 has already moved to gstreamer 1.0.
compat-wxGTK3-gtk2 should also move to gstreamer 1.0 - I filed [1] for
this - they can use the same patch that is used in wxGTK3.
As for the original wxGTK - well it should be retired itself. :) At the
very least it could probably be rebuilt without the -media subpackage.
It appears that only wxPerl depends on it.
