Retire glib and gtk+ 1.2 from rawhide?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,
 
GTK+ 1.2 has been retired by upstream for 8 years and was deprecated in many linux disritbutions, e.g. debian arch.
 
Few applications in our repos now depends on gtk+ 1.2 and there is no security support for it.
 
I think it is time to retire it entirely from our repos, though it may break dependencies for some applications.
 
For them, we can simply:
1. Simply orphan those application from repos which have dead upstream for a long time. Normally, those allipcations have better alternatives using GTK+ 2.x, we don't need worry about this.
 
2.Update applications to GTK 2.x port which was already done by upstream, and ping the maintainer to see if he is nonresponsive now.
 
 
Regards,
Chen Lei
