The web browser I currently use is dwb. I decided I want to try using it with the gtk3 version of webkit. However unlike the gtk2 version of webkit it requires the use of Ruby. Is there a way to use it without having to install Ruby?

Here's "emerge --pretend dwb":

Code:

webkit-gtk-1.x (as you can tell yourself), hasn't that requisite.

So, I'd say USE="-gtk3" and see if that helps.

But if you want gtk3 I don't think you can do anything, other than hacking the webkit-gtk-2.x ebuild. I have no idea if it's the ebuild which enforces ruby or if it's webkit-gtk-2.x at source level, in which case I wish you good luck trying to strip it off.

I suppose you could mask the 2.0.4 package, it only needs >= 1.8.3 whether gtk2 or gtk3

There was another thread about webkit-gtk and Ruby within the last few weeks. In that thread, another poster stated that webkit-gtk upstream had changed their build process to run Ruby scripts as part of the build. Building affected versions of webkit-gtk requires ruby, but running them does not.

Sorry. No. A change of this magnitude requires something more than personal preference and to affect more than those building WebKit.

boggles ... a build time dependency will "affect" [sic] those not building webkit?

best ... khay
