Drop www/webkit24-*
During my recent pkgsrc performance work I performed a full bulk build
with MAKE_JOBS=1 so that I could tune subsequent runs accurately.
This resulted in some ridiculously long build times, the top ones being:
ghc-8.10.4: >10 hours
qt5-qtwebkit: >12 hours
webkit24-gtk: >15 hours
webkit-gtk: >19 hours
webkit24-gtk3: >23 hours
The www/webkit24-* packages are really old at this point, and only
apparently used by these two remaining packages:
www/deforaos-surfer
www/ruby-webkit-gtk
To the maintainers of those packages, please could you look at updating
your packages to use the newer www/webkit-gtk package?
For anyone else, are there any other reasons why we can't drop
www/webkit24-*?
(My hypothesis as to why webkit24 is so incredibly slow is at
