Feature changed by: Vincent Untz (vuntz) Feature #308601, revision 2 Title: Drop glib/gtk/gnome 1.x stack openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed 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).
