Hi,
We will drop deprecated packages support. “Deprecated
packages” means that “it will be deprecated at GNOME3”
and/or “we doesn’t have maintainer of it”. Because we
doesn’t have enough resources to maintain deprecated
packages.
Here are package list. “x” means that “it’s a deprecated
package” and “o” means that “it’s not a deprecated
packages”. The list is created by Masaaki A… (Thanks!)
atk o
bonobo x
bonoboui x
gconf x (GSettings in GIO)
gdk_pixbuf2 o
gio2 o
glib2 o
gnome x
gnomecanvas x
gnomeprint x
gnomeprintui x
gnomevfs x
goocanvas o
gstreamer o
gtk2 o
gtkglext o
gtkhtml2 x
gtkmozembed o
gtksourceview x
gtksourceview2 o
libart x
libglade x
panel-applet x (replaced wit hGNOME-Shell)
pango o
poppler o
rsvg2 o
vte o
Here is dropping steps:
-
We create a path for deprecated packages in the
repository. Its URL will be
Ruby-GNOME 2 download | SourceForge.net -
We move each deprecated package to the above URL from
trunk step by step.For example, in bonobo case, we move
Ruby-GNOME 2 download | SourceForge.net
to
Ruby-GNOME 2 download | SourceForge.net
.
Deprecated packages will not be released new version. (It
may be fixed a critical bug but will not be fixed other
bugs. Because we doesn’t have a maintainer for those
packages.)
If there is no objections, we will do this proposal.
Any comments?
Thanks,
kou
