www/luakit: dropping maintainership
Hello, I moved on and I don't have the time and actually no freebsd system anymore to maintain the www/luakit port. There is still an update to the current version in bugzilla with minor issues. I'm dropping maintenance. If someone is going to pick it up and has questions, feel free to ask!

Well, my personal preference for such a project would be mailing list with archive, as it is quite common here, maybe wiki, which exists for luakit too, but it is marked outdated. Current issue tracker would need at least some easy to use search engine... The current issue tracker is Github. Is this search not sufficient? Just so we talk about the same... Web: https://luakit.github.io (or luakit.org) Source: https://github.com/luakit/luakit The update to the latest Version (2.1) has not yet been committed: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233711 There was mailing list / google group in the past, but has been discontinued in favor of IRC and the Github issue tracker. What I need find now is following: in a special arrangement, I have luakit started directly from startx script, so I have some kind of kiosk. Basically it works OK, I just need change mouse cursor shape. Googling did not reveal anything for me, but maybe someone knows better than I... Will "xsetroot -cursor_name arrow" fix this for you? I'll try - I just need to find the right place to put it in (startx itself, or start from luakit...) Put it into the .xinitrc before luakit. Is it possible to use newer sources? There is no newer source tarball published, but it should be possible to use some carefully chosen snapshot from GitHub... That being written, I have no much experiences with choosing the right one, actually I am just discovering luakit and found it really interesting. Using snapshots was not a good idea in the state the software was/is. Due to active developments, lot of incompatible changes where made which broke the configuration. I don't want to push anything to FreeBSD which breaks configuration without having documentation ready about how to fix it. However, building the latest version from source or doing a small change in the port to target a snapshot is not a big undertaking. Also, I would like to change cursor shapes used in luakit. Could you advice something? I am testing luakit in XFCE, but I have special setup with luakit started directly from xinit with no window manager as well, where this ability is requested. Luakit right now is not doing anything with the cursor. What you can do is to either set the cursor with Xorg tools before starting luakit or you can open a feature request on Github and describe the desired behavior. Luakit could probably set the arrow cursor and maybe a hand over links like firefox does. I won't patch features into the port, so the request should go to upstream luakit.

Hi Milan, Milan Obuch wrote: some time ago I tried to write port maintainer just to get bounce back... Now I see maintainer is reset. Which E-Mail Address did you use? I took over the laukit port about a year ago when development started to happen again and the migration to webkit2 has happened. I am curious if I can find some other users of this really interesting browser, maybe try to build development version... There is no much info I found, but it still seems to be actively developed, at least there are some new entries in issue tracker. It is surely not a mainstream browser, but you can find a few users on OFTC in #luakit I agree that the issue tracker is a bit messy right now. Many entries are for the old webkit1 version of luakit. Some of them may not be valid anymore after the refactoring, some still might be. Some plugins could still be migrated. What I need find now is following: in a special arrangement, I have luakit started directly from startx script, so I have some kind of kiosk. Basically it works OK, I just need change mouse cursor shape. Googling did not reveal anything for me, but maybe someone knows better than I... So I assume after starting X you have the "X" shaped mouse cursor. Will "xsetroot -cursor_name arrow" fix this for you?

How are you handling the different architectures? Are you testing your ports with each of the FreeBSD supported architectures?

Also we have two webkit-gtk3 branches: www/webkit2-gtk3 - 2.16 (stable branch, supports both apiv1 and apiv2) and www/webkit-gtk3 - 2.4 (old branch, unsupported upstream, apiv1 only) If luakit is compatible with both of them, please stick with 2.16 port. Thanks for pointing this out. It already depends on www/webkit2-gtk3. My working git is here: https://github.com/xkpd3/luakit-port I will update the existing port then.

I would like to maintain and update www/luakit
Hello All, It looks like www/luakit is not maintained. The program has greatly improved and a new release will be out in the next days. I'm in contact with the developer and I would like to bring it to FreeBSD and maintain it in future. However, this would be my first port. I'm currently working myself through the porter handbook, but I have questions. Is it okay to push these (beginner) questions to this list? Or is someone willing to mentor me in this regard? The first question would be what is best practice when a port greatly changes and will break compatibility with the old port. The current www/luakit port is the webkit1 version from 2012. The current release is a rewrite based on webkit2, which is incomptible to the old configuration files. It won't even start. I can see two approches how to tackle this: a) leave the current www/luakit port as it is and create a new www/luakit-gtk3 with the 2017 release. This would prevent an automatic update for existing users. b) update the existing www/luakit port and add the information about the configuration incompatibility to UPDATING. Any other options? A helping hand would be appreceated.
