What are the differences between meta-webkit and https://github.com/WebPlatformForEmbedded/meta-wpe

It seems to me both are Igalia maintained repos?

What are the differences between meta-webkit and https://github.com/WebPlatformForEmbedded/meta-wpe

meta-webkit uses the upstream version of WPE (from https://wpewebkit.org). This version of WPE its released each 6 months from the code on https://github.com/WebKit/webkit (that is just the git mirror of the https://webkit.org repository)
meta-webkit also includes recipes for the WebKitGTK port.

meta-wpe uses the WPE version from https://github.com/WebPlatformForEmbedded/WPEWebKit which is a fork of the upstream one, and it includes several adaptations for the RDK platform, as well as different fixes for its supported devices. Check https://wiki.rdkcentral.com/display/RDK/WPE for more info about WPE in the RDK platform.

It seems to me both are Igalia maintained repos?

There are people from Igalia working on both repos, but with different needs.

My advice would be:

• If you want a version of WPE that it includes the last version of WebKit and its close to upstream, then use meta-webkit.
• If you want to use the RDK platform or you have a device that its better supported by meta-wpe (like an STB), then use meta-wpe.
