I apologize I was not clearer. I understand prefectly what a Gtk+ runtime is *generally*. However I cannot see the point of announcing - every Gtk+ runtime under the Sun here (I do not say it is wrong to announce Gtk+ packages here, on the other hand try to imagine every existing Gtk+ runtime posting notification of every update here) - and especially, `a Gtk+ runtime' without any reference which one is it, where one gets it, with no URL, no hint what bloody platform it is packaged for, simply nothing So, if someone announces something, please, please make the announcements actually *useful*.
