Support webkit2gtk-4.1 / evolution-data-server 3.45+ / libsoup-3

[bobby285271]

Starting with GNOME 43, some core components of the desktop have been ported to libsoup-3, which apparently brings a lot of new features, including HTTP/2 support. However, for libsoup-2.4 and libsoup-3, processes can only link against one version of the library (even transitively), or there will be symbol clashes.

The effects of this are especially bad for planner. It links against evolution-data-server libraries (which have been ported to libsoup-3 as of e-d-s 3.45.1) and webkit2gtk-4.0, which is the WebKitGTK library for use with libsoup-2.4. As a result, planner no longer builds with e-d-s 3.45+ because vala is trying to link against both libsoup-2.4 and libsoup-3. Here is the full log: https://gist.github.com/bobby285271/365f09a7c06195c2f432e7b7f7adca27

It will be really nice to have support for webkit2gtk-4.1 and e-d-s 3.45+ so we can still build this properly with them.

Planner failed to build on Fedora 37+. Package will be retired soon due of that.

Any news on this? elementary-planner is still marked as broken in NixOS's nixpkgs...

@alainm23 Closing issues like this makes no sense as you neither merged the planner-gnome branch into master nor created a new release.

Sorry, this got lost in my notifications, other than https://github.com/alainm23/planner/pull/985 the master branch builds fine, but yeah having a tag will be nice:

• https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/230983

The planner-gnome branch is using webkit2gtk-5.0 which is gone after WebkitGTK 2.40, it has to be ported to webkitgtk-6.0 first (which is already done in master branch) if that is the base branch of future releases.

I haven't created a new version yet because I would like to send something stable.

Shouldn't this issue be reopened until then?
