            Bug ID: 1929833
           Summary: Review Request: gdk-pixbuf2-xlib - Deprecated Xlib
                    integration for GdkPixbuf

Spec URL: https://kalev.fedorapeople.org/gdk-pixbuf2-xlib.spec
SRPM URL: https://kalev.fedorapeople.org/gdk-pixbuf2-xlib-2.40.2-1.fc33.src.rpm
Description:

This is a package split off from gdk-pixbuf in upstream. In Fedora, this code
used to be (or rather, still is) part of gdk-pixbuf2 source srpm, and packaged
in gdk-pixbuf2-xlib subpackage. Now that it's split off upstream, we need to
split it off downstream as well.

I've kept the same package name as it had when it was part of gdk-pixbuf2
source rpm to make it easier to handle the upgrade path. In upstream it's
called just 'gdk-pixbuf-xlib' without 2 in the name. The version in the split
off package is higher than what's in the gdk-pixbuf2-xlib subpackage that's
currently in Fedora, so upgrades should work just fine after the split.

There are only a few packages remaining in Fedora that use gdk-pixbuf2-xlib and
I intend to orphan the package soon after getting it in Fedora and leave it up
to the dependent package maintainers to continue maintaining it:

```
$ dnf repoquery --whatrequires gdk-pixbuf2-xlib --disablerepo='*'
--enablerepo=f35-build --refresh

deepin-api-0:5.3.0.12-2.fc34.x86_64
deepin-daemon-0:5.11.0.36-3.fc34.x86_64
gdk-pixbuf2-xlib-devel-0:2.40.0-4.fc34.x86_64
sawfish-0:1.12.90-11.fc34.x86_64
sawfish-pager-0:0.90.4-15.fc34.x86_64
superkb-0:0.23-2.fc34.x86_64
w3m-img-0:0.5.3-49.git20200502.fc34.x86_64
xscreensaver-extras-1:5.45-4.fc34.x86_64
xscreensaver-extras-base-1:5.45-4.fc34.x86_64
xscreensaver-gl-extras-1:5.45-4.fc34.x86_64
```

We need this package to be able to update gdk-pixbuf2 to a newer version (which
has CVE fixes) as the -xlib code has been dropped from gdk-pixbuf2.
