Feature changed by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) 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. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308601
