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

[William Orr]

We have sugar-build use packages for certain packages on Fedora 19 that 
aren't available on Fedora 18 already (ragel, node, npm), so why not 
just add webkitgtk to the list as well? It makes sense enough to me, 
provided we're pulling a compatible version.

To that end, I've already submitted a pull request. ;-)
