Update Linux system requirements for WebKit2 #2544
Labels
bug
A crash or error in behavior.
documentation
An improvement required in the project's documentation.
Describe the bug
The story for ensuring system requirements on Linux for WebKit2 are installed has been complicated by the release of 4.1.
Many of the distros are offering 4.0 and 4.1 while others (notably Ubuntu 24.04) only offer 4.1; see beeware/beeware#333 (comment).
Steps to reproduce
See documentation.
Expected behavior
The documentation needs to be updated so users know how to install WebKit2.
I think as much as possible, we should push people towards 4.1.
Another complicating factor will likely be the introduction of GTK4...since I believe that's version 6.x of GTK's WebKit2. It hasn't been clear to me if the plan is to only support GTK4...or if a transition period will support both.
