Bug Description
Impact
======
webkit2gtk 2.14.2 is a new bugfix release in the stable 2.14 series
https:/
Same justification as bug 1632535 ...
https:/
Because of the non-trivial regression potential, it's good to get some real-world testing first. Plus it fixes some bugs affecting 16.10.
Test Case
=========
- Run epiphany-browser, evolution and yelp since those apps currently use webkitgtk's unstable DOM API
- Run the ubiquity slideshow. Instructions for doing this without needing to run the installer are at
https:/
Those 4 apps are the most likely to have problems with the update. It would probably be good to test a few other apps from its rdepends too:
$ reverse-depends src:webkit2gtk
I have done this testing from my PPA. Please don't permanently add this PPA to your system as I use it for a variety of packaging experiments.

Regression Potential
=======
Low to Moderate. The diff is too large to be able to review very easily.
A few months ago, a stable webkit2gtk update (2.12.4, fixed in 2.12.5) broke the ubiquity slideshow ( bug 1618956 ). This risk is mitigated because we are specifically testing for that now.

@Jeremy -- the overall diff looks tollerable. I think we need to have something clearer in the test plan to cover general use cases other than the things which got fixed. With that I think we are good.
