no, else i would have never directed you there. i said "outdated"
because i built it ~4-5 months ago for a previous release, and thus it
probably must be rebuilt for latest Ubuntu.

as i run Arch, that [undocumented] PPA exists purely to help kickstart
others... i'm not much interested in [personally] keeping it up2date
longterm (it's purpose was to test the GObject bindings).

ultimately, the patch to Webkit is relatively small, and has not
changed for a long time, see:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77835

...for the story's extended version.

much MUCH too old; please use latest HEAD, and pip/PyPI in the future,
once available.

well i'm just once of many architects; the instructions are not really
incorrect per se -- the process was never clean cut, completed,
refined, or even functional at times.  once the GObject stuff lands
i'll update various instructions accordingly.

TBH, building Webkit right out the gate is not going to be a great
experience... even for experiences developers/users. i suggest pulling
the latest development tree from Github, and exploring the JS side of
things -- eg the actual translator toolchain: pyjsbuild, et al --
before delving into the native/realtime bindings to
webkit/firefox/trident.  the latter is a wonderful tool, with much
potential, but stability/maintenantce issue keep it restricted to
little more than a fantastic development/debug tool (vs. a
code-rebuild-test loop when using Python => JS translation).
