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
