For those @archlinux users who may want to test the @WebKitGTK release candidate versions leading to 2.52.0 (due in March), typically I keep the following #AUR package updated between the first .90 RC and the first stable .0: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/webkitgtk-6.0-devel
Do not use it for anything too critical, it may crash, be unreliable, or eat your firstborn kitten. But if you do try it, and find issues, please report them at https://bugs.webkit.org :neocat_bottom:

Please note that building this is not for the faint of the heart: You will need ideally at least 16 GiB of memory (in this economy!) although it *might* be enough with 8 GiB (unlikely), and as many CPU cores as you can throw at it. My old laptop with an Intel 2-core/4-thread 2.6 GHz CPU and 20 GiB of memory takes about five hours to complete the job. I do this for myself and I do not intend to provide a repository with binaries myself. Sorry about that.
