We should remove the old versions of webkit-gtk that were left around for older OS versions that did not have a new enough runtime or toolchain for webkit2.

Currently blocking removal are these ports:

In addition the following GNOME ports that use webkit2-gtk in their current versions fallback to old versions that use webkit-gtk on 10.8 and earier:

  • devhelp
  • epiphany
  • gnome-online-accounts
  • yelp

These fallback/compatibility versions would need to be removed from these ports and replaced with portgroup cxx11 1.0.

webkit2-gtk and webkit2-gtk-devel now build on all supported Intel systems, using PortGroup cxx11 1.1.

gnucash: remove peg for webkit-gtk3-2.0

webkit-gtk3 builds on all supported systems
<http://packages.macports.org/webkit-gtk3>
so no need to peg older webkit-gtk3-2.0 any longer

gtkpod: disable coverweb plugin, dependencies

This plugin wasn't building anyway since after the
change to gtk3 it depends on deprecated webkit-gtk3 rather
than webkit-gtk.

The plugin can be re-enabled if and when it is ever updated
to use webkit2-gtk.

See #52398
Closes #52409

I just updated gnucash to use webkit2; see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52404 and https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/8069

I believe the only remaining dependents of webkit-gtk are bibledit and uzbl
