I've been trying to update to the latest gtk+3, but have been getting
massive failures during the regression tests.

Upon investigation, most of the failures are due to a .css file
generated by sassc.  With some manual modification, the gtk+ tests are
back to normal.

This problem seems to occur with sassc-3.6, but not sassc-3.5.  Upstream
gtk maintainers and most other distros that we checked are still at
sassc-3.5, although I can find references to both sassc-3.5.5 and sassc
3.6.1 on Arch.

In BLFS, the packages that use sassc are gnome-shell,
gnome-shell-extensions, plasma, and gtk+3.  We currently have
sassc-3.6.1 and libsass-3.6.3.

The question is whether we should roll back sassc/libsass to version 3.5
or should just say that the test suite for gtk+3 is broken?

Opinions?

Probably related, but I had issues with libsass-3.6.3. The Gnome environment was
basically unusable. Things like gnome-terminal would not start most of the time.
I had to revert back to libsass-3.6.1, before things became stable again. I 
kept sassc at 3.6.1 .
This was all running under a VM. I don't run the gtk3 tests, so I cannot 
comment on that.
Probably due to this issue:
https://github.com/sass/libsass/issues/303

Hmm, That issue was closed in 2014.

I see there are some recent commits in relation to this issue which I haven't 
tried out yet.

I did back off to libsass-3.6.1 and the gtk3 failures returned to normal. I'll revert the book to that. Thanks for the feedback.
