At the moment I'm having problems with my blood sugar levels and
(over) sleeping, but I'll try to have a go at it this evening. But
after that things here will be busy on real life.
Preliminary plan -
pycairo2.xml using old version and only for python2.
pygobject2 requires pycairo2.
gegl recommends pycairo2 as well as pycairo (not sure if it actually
uses it, I'll try to have a look at my logs), with a comment for
editors that it used to have both pythons and might still need
python2 stuff until gimp moves to 3.0.
And I suppose a ticket to list things which want pycairo2, so that
if anything comes up we can fix it. i.e. adding pycairo2 will
address the ticket, but keep it open for what shows up.
