[Bug 422184] Re: FTBFS with GTK version 2.17
GTK+Extra is dead - this FTBFS still has not been fixed. GPSim does not need it anymore - the Debian package has dropped the dependency. GTK+Extra 2.1.2 is broken and incompatible with GTK 2.18, (as evidenced by this bug) and GTK+Extra 2 is also dead. It is a very bad idea to allow GTK+Extra back into Debian or Ubuntu. It took me nearly a year to get rid of the previous version. There is no version of GTK-Extra3 that is compatible with the upcoming GTK3.0. I was the Debian maintainer for gtk+extra2, I know the package well, I know the upstream and I know that upstream is dead and has not fixed the FTBFS bug. gtk+extra simply abuses the GTK API and there is no fix for this error. If the lack of gtk+extra is such a problem, take the advice of the GTK maintainers and upstream and patch GPSim with the GOffice spreadsheet support used by Gnumeric, available in libgoffice. THAT is the correct solution for GPSim GUI. ** Changed in: gtk+extra2 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid ** Changed in: gtk+extra2 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Confirmed -- FTBFS with GTK version 2.17 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422184 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 422184] Re: FTBFS with GTK version 2.17
As Robert Pearce wrote, GTK+Extra is not dead and GPSim needs it (and I need GPSim GUI as many other users). GTK+Extra 2.1.2 is stable and fully compatible with GTK 2.18 and GTK+Extra 3 is under development so it's a very good idea re-enter GTK+Extra into universe as soon as possible. GPSim works without GUI only now and for it's users is really tedious! -- FTBFS with GTK version 2.17 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422184 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 422184] Re: FTBFS with GTK version 2.17
GTK+extra has NOT outlived its usefulness, neither is it dead upstream, and just killing off important parts of GPSim is no solution.

See Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/563069 - RM: gtk+extra2 -- RoQA; FTBFS, dead upstream, orphaned. gtk+extra2 is now due to be removed from Debian. This removal has already led to the removal of gpsim-led and related packages and is likely to lead to the removal of gpsim and ktechlab too. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #563069 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=563069 -- FTBFS with GTK version 2.17 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422184 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

See Debian bug 549758 - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=549758 I see no prospect of this being fixable. gtk+extra2 has outlived it's usefulness and isn't likely to be fixed (or even fixable). ** Changed in: gtk+extra2 (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #549758 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=549758 -- FTBFS with GTK version 2.17 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422184 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
