Ok, that sounds reasonable. With respect to functions that are merely deprecated in Gtk2Hs, there are instances when they have been replaced by functions with the same name. In this case, it is necessary to stop exporting them (in Gtk.hs) and have the user explicitly import the corresponding modules. But I think that's a different issue. So: - we will use a single --disable-deprecated flag for autoconf which will define DISABLE_DEPRECATED when reading the gtk.h header file. - we will remove all definitions from the built that are deprecated with respect to the latest available release of Gtk+ - we will use deprecated pragmas for all functions that are part of Gtk2Hs and that we don't want people to use - deprecated names/modules in Gtk2Hs may be omitted from Gtk.hs if they clash but are available if they don't clash Axel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
