Where is typelib-1_0-WebKit-3_0 for Tumbleweed

**RaveNBlack** · 06-Nov-2017, 02:45

Hi All,

I want to run a python+php application, but it depends on typelib-1_0-WebKit-3_0

typelib-1_0-WebKit-3_0 is available for openSUSE 42.3 (I'm running the application on another machine with openSUSE 42.3), but I cannot find this package for Tumbleweed. Is it named differently? Is it not available at all?

It does show it on the website, but zypper does not find it and can not install it (even after adding and refreshing GNOME:Next repo). Going to repositories does not show the package either.

I doubt it. I have close to no experience with compiling software. Also, If I remember correctly, installing typelib-1_0-WebKit-3_0 on openSUSE 42.3 pulls in another 2 or 3 related/dependent packages.

what is webkit2gtk3 package? Description seems to be almost identical to typelib-1_0-WebKit-3_0.

And if there is no typelib-1_0-WebKit-3_0 for Tumbleweed, is there some channel to request for the package to be built (for those, like myself, who are not knowledgeable enough to do it on their own)?

typelib-1_0-WebKit-3_0 was the gobject inrtospection binding for WebKit1/GTK3 variant. WebKit1 is no longer maintained by upstream for a couple years already and security issues are not being addressed

typelib-1_0-WebKit2-4_0 is the replacment(WebKit2/GTK3 based) but your application needs to be ported to WK2 (it's not a drop in replacement); I strongly recommend you to contact the author of this application to get it ported to the maintained version of WebKit

I see. Do you know when WebKit1 stopped being supported from top of your head? From a quick search it seems it happened some time in late 2014.
