[Sugar-devel] [sugar-build] Is webkitgtk becoming a barrier?

[Alan Jhonn Aguiar Schwyn]

Hi,
I'm not have a slow computer (I think) but never can finish the compile of webkit.Once time takes 3 hours and continues compiling: 3 hours with my 2 cores at 95 ~ 100% of use!!I'm tire of that and do "ctrl+c", go to system.json, add a rule: if distro != ubuntu13.10..In my case of use never use webkit (but maybe someone wants to use).
If instead compile it, we install as a dependency?Or the installed version is old?
Regards!
Alan

Hey,

It seems like building webkitgtk is a bit of a pain for many people. I would like people feedback on how bad of an obstacle it really is and about a couple of possible solutions:


1 Have buildbot generate snapshots of the base system dependencies which most people are unlikely to want to modify anyway and upload those. It would probably be a system.img file which you would put in your sugar-build directory. With that file present, the external sugar dependencies would not be downloaded and built at all.


2 Officially support Fedora 19, disable the webkitgtk build there and suggest people for which building webkigtk is too much to use Fedora19.

Thoughts? Would you use 1/2 if it was available?
