Update epiphany to 44.0

[sergio-costas]

This is still a work-in-progress:

• to build it, a manual "apt update" must be done inside the build environment
• the audio still doesn't work

This snap update passes my basic manual tests.

By the way, the latest 44.x version is 44.6, but the automation would pick that up.

@jbicha If you open a youtube video, does it work with sound?

[jbicha]

Yes. I have sound in the sample YouTube video. My host OS is Ubuntu "Mantic"

[sergio-costas]

I tried with 44.6, but still no sound... This is odd. Have you tried to do a "snapcraft clean" before?

[jbicha]

Yes, but I used the Artifact produced on the Checks tab at #10

[sergio-costas]

@jbicha This is even more odd... I tried that snap, and it still doesn't have audio.

[sergio-costas]

Just in case... Can you check if you have the .deb version installed?

Just in case... Can you check if you have the .deb version installed?

I did. But I've uninstalled it now and the sound worked.

So then I installed Ubuntu 23.10 Beta (default install, didn't check boxes to install anything extra) in GNOME Boxes and then installed the epiphany snap from this CI run and sound worked for me with a YouTube video.

[sergio-costas]

I'm really puzzled...

[kenvandine]

The snap built in the CI build worked fine for me, including audio in youtube. I think it's worth landing this so we can let the automation bump it to the latest.

[sergio-costas]

Ok, now it seems to work even in my system... odd.

It seems that epiphany 45 can't be built with core22...

:: ../src/meson.build:111:16: ERROR: Dependency lookup for webkitgtk-6.0 with method 'pkgconfig' failed: Invalid version, need 'webkitgtk-6.0' ['>= 2.41.1'] found '2.40.5'.

[jbicha]

@sergio-costas webkit2gtk 2.42 landed in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS this week. Once the GNOME SDK is updated for that, you should be able to update Epiphany to 45.0

Epiphany 45.0 is already in the repository and was pushed to the stable channel earlier.
