If someone from outside the GNOME team takes over this package, this
can be dropped down to non-RC at their discretion, but please leave it
open as a warning to potential users of this library.

(I've been opening similarly-tagged Severity: important bugs in various
other unmaintained libraries.)

Bug#885135: pygtk: Unmaintained, use GObject Introspection instead

2017-12-24 Thread Jeremy Bicha
Source: pytgtk
Version: 2.24.0-5.1
Severity: serious
User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs pygtk
Tags: sid buster

pygtk is unmaintained upstream. It has not had a release since GNOME 3
was released in 2011.

The way forward is to port your app to use GObject Introspection
bindings.

For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2].

Please try to do this before the Buster release as we're going to
try to remove pygtk this cycle.

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.
