I have been discussing the Gtk2 transition to libpng3 with Akira TAGOH for a day or two (see Bug#155854). I have decided that even though this was not the best way of changing over to libpng3, it would take just as much effort to make libgtk2.0-0 link libpng3 and rebuild everything that's already been built against libgtk2.0-0png3, as it would to just rebuild the remaining packages against libgtk2.0-0png3. In other words, we may as well finish what has been started.
In order to help this effort along, I have set up a chroot on my system and I am preparing NMUs for the following packages: gnome-terminal gtk2-engines-thinice libglade2 libgnomecanvas2 pan rep-gtk rep-gtk-gnome sawfish sawfish-gnome nautilus gedit (2.0.2-2.1) eel2 (2.0.3-1.1) libbonoboui (2.0.1-1.1) gail (0.17-1.1) libgnomeprintui (1.116.0-2.1) libgnomeui (2.0.3-1.1) librsvg2 (2.0.1-1.1) Where I have already prepared the NMU, my version number is in brackets. Unless anyone comes up with a reason why I should not proceed, I am going to upload these in time for the next dinstall (in about 18 hours) after testing them on my local system. If you have already prepared new versions or rebuilds, this does not matter because they will have a higher version number, and will override my uploads anyway. I have not made changes to any of the packages except libeel2, where I changed the Build-Dep to specify libpng3-dev instead of libpng2-dev. I realise this changes the API, but gedit and nautilus are the only packages that use it, and I am rebuilding them too. (anyone on debian-gtk-gnome please CC replies to me) Regards, Rob
