Bug#822584: dots: depends on python-gtksourceview2 which is deprecated
Source: dots
Severity: important
Tags: sid stretch
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs pygtksourceview
Hi,
dots depends on python-gtksourceview2, which is long deprecated and
going to be removed from the archive. dots should switch to using the
GObject Introspection bindings for gtksourceview,
gir1.2-gtksource-3.0.
This would mean switching to GObject Introspection for other bindings
as well, e.g. GLib and GTK+ 3.
For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2].
Please try to do this before the Stretch release as we're going to
try to remove it this cycle.
If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.
Emilio
