Package: ftp.debian.org X-Debbugs-Cc: mid...@packages.debian.org Please remove midori from unstable, testing, and experimental.
Midori is a web browser that was developed by the Elementary OS developers. Last year, Elementary OS released the latest version of their distro, Loki, with Epiphany as the default web browser instead of Midori. Midori's last release (0.5.11) was almost 2 years ago in August 2015. The final stable release of Midori still uses the unmaintained WebKit1 instead of webkit2gtk and therefore the browser suffers from numerous known security vulnerabilities. Midori now fails to build with vala 0.36 which is in Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha and will be in Debian unstable once it clears the Debian new queue. https://launchpad.net/bugs/1698483 . I got approval from Sergio Durigan Junior, the Debian maintainer for midori, before filing this bug. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
