The base GCC 7.5 on NetBSD 9.x is missing a C++17 feature expected by
this package now. The pkgsrc GCC 7.5 includes that feature, but the
build still fails later on with another unmet expectation. So GCC 8 is
now the minimum viable version with which to build this package.
This involves a bit of a kludge to deal with how GCC from pkgsrc ends
up linking. This is obviously not ideal, and is part of a broader
topic that needs revisiting. The present goal is to try and stabilize
the 2021Q4 branch.
Tested on 9.2_STABLE/amd64 with www/badwolf. Addresses PR pkg/56604.

- Translation updates: Brazilian Portuguese, German.
WebKitGTK 2.25.92
=================
- Add WEBKIT_USE_SINGLE_WEB_PROCESS environment variable to force single

identifier.
- Add support for HSTS.
- Several improvements and bug fixes in MSE media player.

- Add NetBSD support for JavaScript JIT on x86_64, i386, arm,
aarch64 and mips
- Add WebKitWebProcess and jsc to NOT_PAX_MPROTECT_SAFE.
At least on NetBSD/amd64, running SunSpider 1.0.2 JavaScript Benchmark
(<https://webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html>) with MiniBrowser
before `paxctl +m'-ing them needed:
Total: 1006.9ms +/- 0.7%
...while after `paxctl +m'-ing them:
Total: 322.3ms +/- 3.0%
(Probably EACCESS due PaX MPROTECT are handled gracefully and
silently instead of failing hard at runtime.)
Please also note that webkit-gtk browsers should not need any
NOT_PAX_MPROTECT_SAFE because WebKitWebProcess is used and already
have that.
- Improve handling of `webkit-jit' by introducing a
WEBKIT_JIT_MACHINE_PLATFORMS list that contain all MACHINE_PLATFORMs
triplets that have `webkit-jit' option as suggested one.

consistency with webkit code.
- Add definition for BOS(SOLARIS) and OS(SOLARIS) and add it to the
OS(UNIX) OSes list.
- Limit patch-Source_JavaScriptCore_jit_ExecutableAllocator.cpp to
OpenBSD. It is no longer present in FreeBSD ports and it is not
problematic in NetBSD.
- Remove no longer needed patch-Source_WTF_wtf_ThreadSpecific.h:
NetBSD 5.x was already part of NOT_FOR_PLATFORM.
- Sync patch-CMakeLists.txt with FreeBSD ports.
Please note that this also removes WTF_CPU_SPARC64 definition that was
unused.
- madvise(2) on {Free,DragonFly,Net,Open}BSD supports MADV_FREE and
MADV_DONTNEED flags. Define the corresponding HAVE_* via
patch-Source_WTF_wtf_Platform.h.
- Use globbing for REPLACE_{PERL,PYTHON} where possible.
Changes:
WebKitGTK+ 2.22.2
=================
- Several fixes for video playback with media source extensions (MSE).
This allows using WebM support for YouTube, which no longer works through
regular video source. Note that MSE is still disabled by default and
webkit_settings_set_enable_mediasource() has to be used to enable the
feature.
- Fix the build when only Wayland support is enabled and X11 headers are
not available.
