Since a decision has been made to remove Dillo, this brings us one step closer to removing GTK1 from the book. The following packages still reference it:
* gsview (required) * xsane (can use GTK2) * gutenprint (is it really a dependency that can be used without gimp1? what does gtk2 do here, i.e., is it a valid dependency, too?) * both Ghostscripts (ESP can use GTK2, recheck AFPL or drop it) * KDE bindings (GTK1 is optional, no GTK2 dependency) * Vim (can use GTK2) * XMMS (I'd say drop it, as many distros did; Audacious is already in the book) * LAME (needed for an optional frame analyzer that is useful for developers only) * mplayer (can use GTK2) * transcode (is this dependency valid at all? searching for gtk in configure.in in their CVS web frontend finds nothing) * libdv (for the "playdv" program, but dv files are playable with, e.g., mplayer, so no big loss) * alsa-tools (can use GTK2) * PDL (GTK1 together with Gnome1 libraries is needed for something called "PDL::Graphics::PLPLOT", but I am not an expert here, although I am a physicist) * pinentry (can use GTK2) * wireshark (can use GTK2) So the only showstoppers above are gsview, XMMS, and maybe AFPL Ghostscript and PDL. Does anyone use these packages or can otherwise provide help? The rest needs just some mechanical search-and-replace operations, thus, removal of GTK1 may well be in BLFS-6.3. -- Alexander E.
