Before showing how, you need to explain why. Fedora has to package
webkit1 because they have a lot of apps in the Gnome stack that still
haven't been ported to webkit2. Oe-core on the other hand has only one
such app: midori.
Also, webkit1 has been deprecated for years, and there is no commitment
from upstream to maintain the 2.4.x series which is the last that still
has it in the source tree; they may cease to do it at any moment. So
once again, why keep it in oe-core?
Regards,
Alex
