[Slackbuilds-users] Abandoning Epiphany SlackBuild

[Bob Funk]

Epiphany from the gnome 44 branch needs the webkit2gtk-6.0 api (the
libsoup3+gtk4 webkit build), and gcr-4, both of which are not on
slackbuilds.org yet. It also needs a newer libadwaita version than the one
on SBo, and newer gstreamer libraries than what slackware 15.0 provides, so
we're kind of roadblocked there regardless of the other missing
dependencies. It looks like Epiphany's going to be another gnome package
that gets stuck on a version that works with slackware-15.0. It'll have to
wait till -current rolls over to a new release before I can update Epiphany
and a number of other gnome builds to the 44 branch.

There was an Epiphany 43.1 release on the gnome 43 branch from Feb 2023
with some bug fixes so I updated to that and submitted a build to take over
maintenance.
