The wxHtmlWindow options sounds good. We don't use CSS or JS.

Olly Betts and Gianfranco explained a bit more about what the Debian
maintainer want to do. I'm not cross posting here. The gist is they want
to migrate wxWidgets to a maintained version of GTK and webkitgtk while
in the meantime drop the old unmaintained webkitgtk from Debian testing
and unstable.
Our options are to sit out the migration and have boinc-manager removed
from unstable and testing in the meantime or disable the in-app browser
for this period so we still have a boinc-manager package just without
Notification support (or switch to a limited text/html support).
In the debian bug thread Olly Betts wrote that there is wxHtmlWindow
available in wxWidgets which has limited HTML support (no CSS, no JS)
and is still available during the migration. We should investigate if we
can switch from wxWebView to this for the time of the wxWidgets
migration on Debian. Since we don't really use CSS or JS in the
notification system it seems rather straight forward and we wouldn't
even loose image or video support.

If needed, BOINC can switch to showing notices in textual form on Linux;
I haven't seen many notices that use images or video anyway.

Hello All,
(boinc developers, this is a serious issue for Debian and I think
this will become an issue
for other distributions soon),
libwebkitgtk-1 is going to be removed soon from the archive, and
wxwidgets webview depends on it.

It seems the only rdep needing the webkit integration is boinc, so
dropping support would not cause widespread pain - if it gets to the
stage where wxwidgets3.0 is blocking removal of webkitgtk, I suggest
we just drop the dependency and the libwxgtk-webview3.0-0v5, etc
packages and get boinc to update not to use them.
Wouldn't libwxgtk-webview3.0-0v5 need to be renamed anyway? So maybe
it's ok to drop it and later you can reintroduce it with the new name
when you're ready to do your transition.
If there's an ABI change, it'll need renaming. It's not clear to me if
there will be one without further investigation.
Either way, dropping it would affect boinc in unstable while it's gone,
which is really more of a concern than a trip through NEW. I don't
know
what boinc does with webview, so I'm not sure if removing it renders
boinc almost useless or if it only affects some minor features, but
previously Gianfranco seemed unkeen on dropping it. I've CCed him.
webview is used by boinc for notifications coming from server side,
does wxwidgets offer some better maintained webview support?
we might switch to gtk-3, this will switch the
libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 dependency to
libwebkitgtk-3.0-0, but I'm not sure how much we will gain from that
move.
