Package: osmo
Version: 0.2.10-1
Severity: important
User: [email protected]
Usertags: oldlibs libgtkhtml2
osmo currently still uses libgtkhtml2, either directly or through the
Python bindings. However, libgtkhtml2 is not really maintained
upstream. After being in maintenance mode since 2005, it has not seen
any new release for 2 years now.
I’d like to remove libgtkhtml2 packages before the squeeze release.
This can only be done by getting rid of as much as possible of the
reverse dependencies.
For this to happen, the packages have to be migrated to another HTML
rendering engine. There is gtkhtml3 of course, and now there is
webkit, which is superior in terms of features and not too far from
libgtkhtml2 in terms of API.
I suggest that you migrate osmo as soon as possible to use webkit for
rendering. For most packages, which use libgtkhtml2 in a simple way,
porting should be trivial.
I’d like to add a specific note. When upstream *starts* to use something
like gtkhtml2 in 2010, that poses serious questions as to their ability
to make development choices.
Cheers,
