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

[Daniel Narvaez]

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?
