Source: dbus-c++ Version: 0.9.0-11 Severity: normal Tags: trixie sid User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: gtk2 oldlibs Control: block 967733 by -1 Control: block 967497 by -1
dbus-c++ Build-Depends on packages from src:gtkmm2.4, a C++ binding for GTK 2. GTK 2 was superseded by GTK 3 in 2011 (see <https://bugs.debian.org/947713>). It has been discontinued by its upstream developer and no longer receives any upstream maintenance. If dbus-c++ can be either updated to GTK 3, updated to drop the GTK dependency or removed, then that would reduce the amount of technical debt in the archive. >From a quick look at the binary package dependencies and source code, it looks as though simply dropping the build-dependency should work: this will result in the dbus-browser example not being compiled any more, but no changes to the installed files. Thanks, smcv
