py27-webkitgtk: remove obsolete port, no dependents

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Please update py27-webkitgtk to use webkit2-gtk rather than webkit-gtk.

The older version of webkit-gtk hasn't been supported upstream for quite some time and is full of vulnerabilities.

See #52398

[elelay (Eric Le Lay)]

There is no updated py27-webkitgtk. Newer python code has to use gtk3 + webkit2-gtk gobject bindings.

py27-webkitgtk is a soft dependency of gPodder, to display podcast html shownotes.

Latest version of gPodder dropped this, because debian dropped webkitgtk.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Then I suggest you remove the port.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Current dependents of py27-webkitgtk are gramps3 and rednotebook both of which have been updated to use gtk3 and webkit2-gtk.

In 5b3646a94a30501b5ddf7de6c34cacce49914da8/macports-ports:

rednotebook: update to version 2.3, dependencies

Previously a dependent of py27-webkitgtk, it now depends
on python36, gtk3 and webkit2-gtk using gobject introspection.

See #52410

Closes #37377
Closes #40506

In 51f741860a020e7a8fde26e27ea62fe07ce0ea44/macports-ports:

gramps3: mark obsolete, replaced by gramps

A dependent of py27-webkitgtk, this port has been
superceded by gramps which now depends on python3, gtk3
and webkit2-gtk using gobject introspection.

Users should migrate to the new version after backing up
any existing genealogical database. See notes in gramps
for details.

See #52410

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

After the two commits preceding, I believe there are no remaining ports that depend on py27-webkitgtk.

Is there any reason that the port cannot now be removed as suggested by jeremyhu?

[elelay (Eric Le Lay)]

The port can be removed. Thanks,

py27-webkitgtk: per maintainer, remove obsolete port

Port depends on deprecated webkit-gtk. No remaining dependents.

Closes #52410
