[Bug 1688395] Re: Remove Oxide, webbrowser-app and the Unity webapps
Are all of these unsupported? I know that the signage effort was
initially using webapp-container (part of webbrowser-app) with mir. Even
if webbrowser-app were removed, oxide-qt might still be interesting for
signage/etc since it can be used with upstream Qt.
I've not heard an official statement on these as they relate to signage
(et al), so I thought I'd ask.

Title:
Remove Oxide, webbrowser-app and the Unity webapps
Status in libunity-webapps package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in oxide-qt package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
These projects are discontinued, unsupported and should be removed.
I haven't done any analysis of the deps or rdeps to find out if there
is more to cull, or if there is some untangling to do.
I know of two tasks other than removing packages -
Unity ships an Amazon launcher in its preset favourites which
launches a binary from unity-webapps-service. That should be removed.
We need to keep providing the Amazon launcher by default (in GNOME
Shell) - it should be reimplemented and added to Shell by default.
