Yocto / OpenEmbedded layer for WebKit based engines and browsers

meta-webkit (OpenEmbedded/Yocto layer for WebKit based engines and browsers)

This layer provides recipes of WebKit based runtimes and browsers for use with OpenEmbedded and/or Yocto.

This layer depends on:

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
branch: main
revision: HEAD

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
branch: main
revision: HEAD

URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-security
branch: main
revision: HEAD

This layer optionally depends on:

URI: http://code.qt.io/yocto/meta-qt5.git
branch: 5.12
revision: HEAD

The meta-security dependency is necessary to enable web process sandbox for WPE.

If meta-qt5 is present, this layer will provide an opt-in Qt5 API as an alternative to other Qt5 web-engines such as QtWebKit and QtWebEngine.

Warning: The default branch has been renamed to main because #219. The old default branch (master) will still be kept as a mirror of the main until February of 2022 #220. Please update any external reference from master to main as soon as possible.
