Bug#540346: O: gtk+extra2 -- A useful set of widgets for GTK+
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the gtk+extra2 package.
See: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/05/msg00627.html
"GTK+extra is long dead upstream and the previous large reverse
dependency, scigraphica, has already been removed from Debian.
(scigraphics was IIRC, the main reason for having gtk+extra1
in the first place.)
The chances of gtk+extra2 making it into Squeeze are low, principally
because there is simply too much to do to get gtk+extra2 into any kind
of compatibility with GTK+3."
There was some discussion about gtk+extra2 being handled by the libgtkada2
maintainers but I've decided to make it clear that gtk+extra2 itself
is not under active maintenance.
I've already requested removal of quicklist. See #540337.
The package description is:
