This proposal is in reference to this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1278282
As it stands currently our builds and testing are done with GTK3, so GTK2 support is effectively tier 3, with no tracking of regressions other than people filing bug reports. GTK2 thus adds to the maintenance burden as well as new development overhead of our Linux support, since Linux widget code must be added to support both when it is added. The proposal, to which so far we have tentative agreement of Red Hat and Debian is this: We continue to allow building with GTK2 widget up to and including 52 (ESR). Distributions still doing ESR builds with GTK2 have until the next ESR (59) to start using GTK3. As soon as 53, though, we would start removing support for building with GTK2 widget. I would be interested to hear if there are significant reasons why we would not want to do this. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
