Bug#364295: FLTK2 very likely will never be uploaded to Debian
tag 364295 + wontfix
kthxbye
Hi,
I'm very sure that nobody will ever package FLTK 2.0 for Debian
(anymore) despite it's no more non-free -- because it's deprecated,
was never released as stable and is obsoleted by FLTK 1.3 which is in
Debian Unstable. Additionally most software who build upon FLTK 2.0
now uses FLTK 1.3, too, like e.g. Dillo which I uploaded just recently
to Debian Experimental.
I would have closed the RFP for FLTK 2.0
(http://bugs.debian.org/364295) because of that, but as #192827
(xdiskusage: Printing doesn't manage non-ASCII characters,
http://bugs.debian.org/192827) is still blocked by that RFP, I just
tagged it as "wontfix".
I tried to build xdiskusage against FLTK 1.3 instead of 1.1 (1.3 has
been released recently and entered Debian Unstable just shortly
afterwards) and it surprisingly built out of the box. (FLWM did not.)
It also works -- until you have an Directory with UTF-8 names in. Then
the xdiskusage window becomes somehow transparent (with ratpoison WM
at least), but clicking on that invisible window still gives the
pop-up menu and allows to export into PostScript. That PostScript
nevertheless looks not like UTF-8, but also not like just UTF-8
interpreted as ISO-Latin, e.g. no à in there.
I nevertheless hope that #192827 can be solved by using FLTK 1.3 and a
little bit of tweaking.
Thierry: Maybe you can poke the xdiskusage upstream about this issue
again, with a pointer to FLTK 1.3?
Regards, Axel
