GObjectIntrospection means using GTK+3. Calling GObjectIntrospection for GTK+2 "unmaintained" would be an under-statement - I think it's never been really supported. So I don't think anything can be done to improve the situation at this moment. Btw, GTK+2 itself is also unmaintained and has had its last release in 2011. Shipping it in your distro but leaving out other basic parts leaves your packages in a somewhat rotten, degraded state. (In reply to comment #1) > GObjectIntrospection means using GTK+3.

I agree with this last paragraph, notice the view of the distro is not the same for all developers ;-) The problem is not the level of maintenance, of course. If you cut a tree it makes a lot of noise, but if you prune branch by branch until the tree dies nobody will notice those branches falling. And in the end you will also have more reasons to cut it, since it has no branches to support. |
