[Bug 1591343] Re: lernid: depends on python-webkit which is deprecated

[Mathew Hodson]

** Description changed:

- Lernid is unmaintained and should be removed from Ubuntu until someone
- wants to resurrect it.
+ [Impact]
  
- It depends on python-webkit which I think we want to try to remove this
- year.
+ lernid depends on python-webkit, which is deprecated and going
+ to be removed from the Debian archive. lernid should switch to using
+ the GObject Introspection bindings for webkit, ideally
+ gir1.2-webkit2-3.0 for Webkit2 and gtk+3 as upstream has already
+ dropped WebKit1 (so gir1.2-webkit-1.0 and gir1.2-webkit-3.0 are
+ likely to be dropped from Debian in the near future).
  
- It is set up as a frontend for https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom
- but that wiki page says "As of 2014 the Ubuntu Classroom project is no longer active."
+ [Other Info]
  
- Upon first launch, it offers to connect via IRC to either #ubuntu-
- classroom or the Spanish equivalent. Except it doesn't actually appear
- to connect to anything (I learned that #ubuntu-classroom redirects to
- #ubuntu which maybe confuses this app).
- 
- Upon "connecting", it opens the above wiki page. There is a tab for a
- terminal and a tab for a calendar but the calendar doesn't show any
- events.
- 
- Original bug report
- ===================
- As reported at https://bugs.debian.org/790218 the Debian developers would like to remove python-webkit from the repositories because it uses libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 which is no longer maintained.

  The developers recommend you port lernid to GTK3 and then build against
  gir1.2-webkitgtk-3.0, or preferably gir1.2-webkit2-4.0.
