Thank you for your bug report. Updating to a new major serie of glib isn't going to be done as a stable update because that wouldn't be a safe update and might create build or runtime issues for existing software. You probably want to update your code to be compatible with older version of glib since that's what most users will still have today, use G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE instead of the new default flag for example
** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2002212 Title: Outdated version of libglib2.0-dev in Ubuntu Jammy Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: The version of libglib2.0-dev that is currently included in the repositories for Ubuntu is 2.72.1-1, which is outdated and missing important features and bug fixes. In particular, the G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS macro, which was added in GTK+ 3.22, is not available in this version of libglib2.0-dev. This is causing issues with my application, which requires the use of this macro. I request that the package be updated to the latest version (currently 2.74) in order to resolve this issue. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install libglib2.0-dev version 2.72.1-1 on an Ubuntu system 2. Attempt to compile an application that uses the G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS macro 3. Observe the compilation error due to the missing macro Expected result: The application compiles successfully and can be run. Actual result: The application fails to compile due to the missing G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS macro. Release: Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Release: 22.04 Using version: 2.72.1-1 Requested version: 2.74(+) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/2002212/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
