Webkitgtk has released latest stable version 2.30.0 https://webkitgtk.org/2020/09/11/webkitgtk2.30.0-released.html However I dont see the same version updated in ubuntu 18.04 and ubuntu 20.04 repository https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webkit2gtk I see there is debian package in https://packages.debian.org/experimental/amd64/libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev/download However when installing this there are lot of dependencies Can we install webkitgtk and all its dependencies seamlessly using simple steps It would be helpful in future if you release any installer which resolves all dependencies

I don't know if the Ubuntu package maintainers are planning to provide an update to 2.30.0 for other releases — you would need to ask them. From our side what we do is making sure that packagers will be able to build new releases of WebKitGTK with the dependencies available in the LTS (Long Term Support) versions of Ubuntu, see here: https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/DependenciesPolicy We do this because we think that it is important that distributions provide up-to-date WebKitGTK packages, but in the end the maintainers of the Ubuntu package are the ones who decide which package updates they want to provide. > I see there is debian package in > https://packages.debian.org/experimental/amd64/libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev/download > > However when installing this there are lot of dependencies Debian packages in general are not expected to work on Ubuntu. Even if Ubuntu is based on Debian, they are different. > Can we install webkitgtk and all its dependencies seamlessly using simple > steps > > It would be helpful in future if you release any installer which resolves > all dependencies Yes, once (and if) the Ubuntu package maintainers provide an updated package for your version of Ubuntu, then you will be able to easily install WebKitGTK 2.30.x Unfortunately we do not have time ourselves
