So, my understanting was correct then: gtk-extra2 will FTBFS only when you remove GTK+2 from Debian, not when you introduce GTK+3. Joss, can you tell me whether you intend for there to be a transition period when both GTK+2 and GTK+3 are in Debian? My intention is neither to take over maintenance of gtk-extra nor to remove functionality from GtkAda; rather to try and give a clear roadmap for upstream to plan the necessary changes, i.e. reimplementing some of GtkAda's widgets with GTK+3 instead of gtk-extra. -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
