webkit, pywebkitgtk, glib bindings and pyjamas-desktop

two days ago, on the announcement of an alpha release of pyjamas-desktop, there were *1250* project web hits on the sourceforge page. that's... well, i'd consider it to be quite a lot :) the actual number of downloads: ten. part of the reason for that probably has something to do with it being an alpha release, but also probably more to do with the fact that you have to patch _both_ webkit _and_ pywebkitgtk...

... oops :)

so, i'm correcting that with some .deb packages of both. my first experiment with dh_make on a python package (whoopeee). also i had to remove the sane library filter from the libwebkit .deb build which removes all the c++ symbols.

adding 1,450 extra functions to the filter file, because of the new glib bindings providing an additional _three hundred_ glib objects representing each of the DOM model c++ objects.... i just... perhaps unsurprisingly concluded that i have better things to do :)

accidental debug build of webkit....

oh arse - debug build: _massive_ library. at the time i ran out of disk space (for the 3rd time), libwebkit.a was 800mb...
