Intent to NMU packages that depend on libgtk2.0-0
I have been discussing the Gtk2 transition to libpng3 with Akira TAGOH
for a day or two (see Bug#155854). I have decided that even though this
was not the best way of changing over to libpng3, it would take just as
much effort to make libgtk2.0-0 link libpng3 and rebuild everything
that's already been built against libgtk2.0-0png3, as it would to just
rebuild the remaining packages against libgtk2.0-0png3. In other words,
we may as well finish what has been started.
In order to help this effort along, I have set up a chroot on my system
and I am preparing NMUs for the following packages:
gnome-terminal
gtk2-engines-thinice
libglade2
libgnomecanvas2
pan
rep-gtk
rep-gtk-gnome
sawfish
sawfish-gnome
nautilus
gedit (2.0.2-2.1)
eel2 (2.0.3-1.1)
libbonoboui (2.0.1-1.1)
gail (0.17-1.1)
libgnomeprintui (1.116.0-2.1)
libgnomeui (2.0.3-1.1)
librsvg2 (2.0.1-1.1)
Where I have already prepared the NMU, my version number is in brackets.
Unless anyone comes up with a reason why I should not proceed, I am
going to upload these in time for the next dinstall (in about 18 hours)
after testing them on my local system.
If you have already prepared new versions or rebuilds, this does not
matter because they will have a higher version number, and will override
my uploads anyway.
I have not made changes to any of the packages except libeel2, where I
changed the Build-Dep to specify libpng3-dev instead of libpng2-dev. I
realise this changes the API, but gedit and nautilus are the only
packages that use it, and I am rebuilding them too.
(anyone on debian-gtk-gnome please CC replies to me)

Rob
