"Alternately, you could adopt and maintain the gtkhtml package." ....and the gal0.x package and the bonobo package and the libcapplet package.
libgtkhtml-perl is not used by anything in Debian. It depends on four enormous source packages which are not used by anything else. All four packages are orphaned. I don't think it is worth the time of any QA member to work on maintaining this huge structure for the benefit of one package which isn't used by any other Debian package. :-/ The perl bindings are the only things using these components of GNOME 1, and nobody's actually using the perl bindings. :-/ Apparently there are no perl bindings for gtkhtml 3.8, which is the current version of gtkhtml, or for the older GNOME2 version gtkhtml2. The documentation for the gtk2-perl bindings says: "The bindings are designed to be modular and extensible, so right now someone could start creating bindings for GConf, Bonobo, GtkHTML, etc, etc, with no changes to the Gtk2 module. The Gnome2 bindings could be ported in a matter of hours." Perhaps this is an exaggeration, but still, the other Gnome2 bindings mostly seem to have been ported. So apparently nobody has cared enough to port the gtkhtml bindings to a recent version of gtkhtml. Frankly gtkhtml1 is obsolete and has been for quite a while; given that no Debian packages are using these bindings, I suspect that there's simply not enough interest for anyone to write bindings. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
