WebKitGTK together with Firefox and Chromium is the base of one of the most used web engine.

It is packaged in pkgsrc as www/webkit-gtk but we are stuck at version 2.36.8 because we have several build and run issues with newer versions on NetBSD. As part of this project we will focus only on NetBSD/amd64.

This project consists on updating it (a possible starting point could be pkgsrc-wip package wip/webkit-gtk) and trying to fix it.

Please note that more than packaging work a lot of debugging of a big complex codebase is inspected as part of this project, hence why it is considered an "hard" one!
