ping for gtk+extra2 removal - implications for libgtkada2 and gpsim



http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/05/msg00627.html

One month on and I've heard nothing from the other maintainers with
packages that depend on gtk+extra2 or from anyone else interested in
porting gtk+extra2 (or even just GtkSheet) to Gtk3.0.

I therefore propose to seek pre-emptive removal of quicklist,
libgtkada2, gpsim and gtk+extra2 if I've still not had any cause to
reconsider the problems before DebConf9.

I'll file RM: RoM bugs against quicklist and gtk+extra2 and RM: RoQA
for libgtkada and gpsim - unless anyone comes up with a good reason not
to do so - at DebConf9. I don't think I'll bother orphaning quicklist
or gtk+extra2 as an interim step, just skip to removal.

FTR: gpsim already has an RC bug #520005 (FTBFS)

>From only a cursory glance at the libgtkada2 sources, I would have
thought that the package could build without gtk+extra2 (with some
patches to the upstream) but whether it can be ported to Gtk3.0 is
another matter. I may start with an ordinary bug against libgtkada2 and
see if there is interest in rebuilding it without gtk+extra2 and with
Gtk3.0.
