The homepage quoted in the .dsc has had no changes since 2005 and the CVS - even the section under gtk-extra-3/ has had no changes for 470 days. The package version does not indicate that this is unreleased software taken directly from CVS. It's taken me the best part of a YEAR to get gtk+extra2 removed from unstable (I note a new version of ktechlab in mentors too - updating ktechlab needs to finally allow the removal of gtk+extra2 from testing. Personally, I'd be happier for ktechlab to be removed from Debian than for gtk+extra3 to be inserted to prop up ktechlab.) > (You receive this mail as you are listed in the 'Uploaders' field of > the gtk+extra3 package.

Please, I insist that my name is removed from Uploaders before this package gets into the Debian archive. I refuse to be associated with it any longer. I had no part in the packaging of this version and I utterly disown it. I suspect that the same goes for Bradley as he abandoned gtk+extra2 a long, long time ago. At the very least, the package should describe the new upstream homepage or drop all mention of the old ones and list the new VCS location because the current ones cannot have been the source of this package. http://gtkextra.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gtkextra/gtkextra-3/gtkextra/?sortby=date#dirlist (Minimum age of the .c or .h files: 15 months without any change.) The long awaited stable port to Gtk+-2.x has been released! GtkExtra-2.1.1 is now available for download!
