Hi Guix,
I noticed that webkitgtk-next is defined in such a way that its name is
set to "webkitgtk", not "webkitgtk-next". This contrasts with how other
*-next packages are defined, such as emacs-next.
With respect to webkitgtk, if I run:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix install webkitgtk
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
the version assigned in webkitgtk-next will be installed. On the other
hand, all packages that depend on webkitgtk will be build with version
according to version assigned to %webkit-version.
I think I'm correct since I've just installed cl-cffi-gtk (which depends
on webkitgtk) and the REPL told me:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
WEBKIT> (format nil "~a.~a" (webkit-get-major-version) (webkit-get-minor-version))
"2.36"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
That is, it picked up the version assigned to webkitgtk, not
webkitgtk-next.
My question is: shouldn't webkitgtk-next be defined with its name set to
"webkitgtk-next" instead of "webkitgtk"? Thanks.

You are a little late to the party. #60864 fixes that issue and the
related issue of two different versions being used. I intend to push
it on Sunday, but might be convinced to delay doing so if
issues.guix.gnu.org continues timing out.
Cheers
