Understood and this is a good procedure :) Keeping programming cycle in mind I think for dt to reach GA in GTK3 the world will have seen Debian 8, which is at GKT-3 3.14. Note that /testing/ will become the next stable, not unstable. Right now my current system running testing already annouces itself (2048) ~> cat /etc/debian_version 8.0 Given that it usually says says something like "testing/unstable" but not a number, as well as looking at the number of release critical bugs going down recently (https://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/), Debian 8 seems quite near. So I guess it will not see anything beyond 3.14. Thats why I refered to 3.14 as sort of a standard that might make things easier to port for quite a while. -- Kind regards, / War is Peace. | Freedom is Slavery.
