[openFATE 308601] Drop glib/gtk/gnome 1.x stack
- From: fate_noreply@xxxxxxx

Feature #308601, revision 7
Title: Drop glib/gtk/gnome 1.x stack
- openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed
+ openSUSE-11.3: Done
Priority
Requester: Important
Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz)
Description:
We still ship the glib/gtk/gnome 1.x stack, but it's so old that really
nothing maintained should still use it. And it's not clear whether we
have a good security maintenance for this stack...
So let's try to remove this for 11.3.
Discussion:
#1: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2009-12-28 18:07:03)
Here's some analysis I did.
Note: there's still psx-plugins to analyze.
Packages that need to be updated or changed
===========================================
fvwm2-gtk:
- this is only a GTK-based alternative for GUI elements in fvwm.
Not critical.
- remove the dependency from fvwm2
icewm:
- simple wm
- make it compile without imlib
mgp:
- tool for presentation
- add patch to move to imlib2 (from Debian, and committed
upstream)
procmeter:
- monitoring tool
- version 3.5 is based on GTK+ 2.x
qiv:
- image viewer
- version 2.2.2 (http://spiegl.de/qiv/) uses GDK 2.x
smilutils:
- tool to convert/edit digital video data (used by kino)
- ported to GTK+ 2.0 in cvs
- other distributions use code from cvs
swami:
- soundfont editor
- uses GTK+ 2.x in svn
- will have a release by next May according to mailing list
TeX-Guy:
- dvi library and utilities
- GTK+ 1.x only needed for xgdvi
- evince can replace xgdvi
usbview:
- display topography of USB devices
- version 1.1 uses GTK+ 2.x
WindowMaker-applets:
- various applets for WindowMaker
- it looks like E-Notes, wmtimer and wmcliphist are the ones
requiring the new libraries
- wmcliphist 1.0 uses GTK+ 2.x
- wmtimer 2.92 uses GTK+ 2.x
- e-notes 0.5 was released in 2001, and there has been no change
since then (we have 0.4). Maybe just drop it?
wmakerconf:
- configuration tool for Window Maker
- versions >= 2.11 use GTK+ 2.x
xteddy:
- some weird app ;-)
- version 2.2 uses imlib 2
xzgv:
- image viewer
- 0.9.x versions use GTK+ 2.x
Packages that can be safely removed
===================================
ami:
- Korean input method
- scim deprecates this
fnlib:
- font rendering for enlightenment
- was used by old versions of enlightenment only, as far as I know
gau:
- Gtk-based Hangul terminal emulator
- shouldn't be needed with a recent terminal and a good Korean
input method
gdk-pixbuf:
- library for images
- can only be used with GTK+ 1.x (was integrated in GTK+ 2.x)
gnome-libs:
- GNOME 1.x libraries
- can only be used with GTK+ 1.x
goom2k4:
- visual effects generator for mp3 players
- not used by anything anymore, as far as I can tell (code was
integrated in gstreamer)
imlib:
- image loading and rendering library
- part of what we want to remove
kanji-lookup:
- simple kanji lookup application
- gucharmap can be used
nicolatter:
- Japanese input method
- scim deprecates this
orbit:
- GNOME 1.x library
- can only be used with GTK+ 1.x
Packages that can be removed, but with no replacement
=====================================================
bombermaze:
- game (bomberman/dynablaster clone)
- similar games are available in the games OBS project (xblast,
tomatoes)
gbuffy:
- mailbox watcher
- dead upstream, as far as I can tell
- patch to port to gtk2 available in case someone wants to
resurrect the project:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515274
pcpmon:
- graphical monitor for Performance Co-Pilot
- no upstream available
- kmchart is an alternative
soundtracker:
- sound editor
- seems dead upstream :/
- has been removed from Debian
#2: Luis Medinas (lmedinas) (2010-02-02 18:18:19)
Vincent what is the progress on this ? What packages have you "fixed"
?
#3: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2010-02-02 18:28:25) (reply to #2)
What's left is:
* update swami to a svn checkout that uses gtk+ 2
* replace pcsx and psx-plugins with pcsx-df. I started this a while ago
in home:vuntz
Everything else is done, I think. (There are delete requests and
submissions that haven't been accepted yet, though)
#4: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2010-04-09 18:36:42) (reply to #3)
We're nearly done: see delete requests 37594 and 37595.
+ #5: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2010-05-23 18:59:26)
+ This was finally done a few weeks ago.
