With gnucash for GNOME 2 in unstable, it's time to think about what can be done to reduce the number of GNOME 1 packages once new gnucash hits testing.
Especially since Thomas Bushnell will be hoping to drop most of the GNOME 1 packages he picked up. So far this is what I've come up with. All this applies only after gnucash 2.0 enters testing! * gtkhtml -- entire source package only used by gnucash and libgtkhtml-perl. This is the GNOME 1 version; the GNOME 2 version is in the gtkhtml3.8 package. * libgtkhtml-perl -- unused. This is generated by the libgtk-perl source package. New maintainer of libgtk-perl Cc:ed. Bart, if you want to keep generating libgtkhtml-perl, please consider adopting gtkhtml, as you're the last user of it. Alternatively, stop generating libgtkhtml-perl, and we can get rid of gtkhtml. Or update it to a GNOME 2 version, but I think libgtk-perl is strictly for GNOME 1. * libglade-bonobo0 and libglade-bonobo0-dev -- unused. These are generated from the libglade source package. (Other packages generated from the same source package are used.) Perhaps these could be dropped? Hopefully? * bonobo-conf -- this exists only for the purposes of bonobo, and as noted below bonobo should go away. So this should go away. * bonobo -- entire source package will be unused once gnucash, gtkhtml, libglade-bonobo0, and bonobo-conf are gone. * guppi -- entire source package will be unused once gnucash is gone. * gwrapguile -- entire source package will be unused once gnucash is gone. * python-gnome-1.2 -- this is currently depended on only by gnome-tasksel, which has a bug open requesting upgrade to GNOME 2. So this is planned to go away soon. (And I would prioritize this because of the possible removal of libcapplet, below.) This is independent of gnucash. * python-gdk-imlib-1.2 -- from the same source package, this is depended on only by python-gnome-1.2. * libcapplet -- entire source package is used only by python-gnome-1.2 and gtkhtml. ---- After all these are removed, the heaviest remaining users of GNOME 1 libraries will be as follows. Perhaps some of them would like to adopt the remaining GNOME 1 packages. ;-) Remaining users of libgal23: - gpredict - yank These will be the only remaining users of anything in the gal0.x source package. The yank maintainer has been inactive since 2003. Hamish Moffatt, the gpredict maintainer, will probably want to take gal0.x? Remaining users of libgnomeprint15: - libgnome-print-perl (no reverse deps, should be dropped) - gpredict - yank - terraform - gphotocoll - gfax - cronosii Remaining users of libglade-gnome0: guikachu gpredict gnobog yank multi-gnome-terminal (orphaned) gnotepad+ gnomp3 gnome-think gnome-find gnome-chess gfax gabber bins Remaining users of libgnomemm1.2-9c2 (gnomemm source package): xgsmlib (QA) gabber --- Finally, complete list of remaining non-library users of libgnome32 (after those discussed above are removed): bombermaze cheops-ng coriander cronosii directory-administrator drip fidelio fpm fvwm-gnome gabber gaby gbatnav gbib gfax gfontview gfslicer gipsc glotski gmanedit gnobog gnoise-gnome gnome-bin gnome-breakout gnome-chess gnome-find gnome-iconedit gnome-lokkit gnome-pim gnome-think gnomekiss gnomermind gnomp3 gnotepad+ gpgp gphotocoll gpr gpredict groach gsmartcard gsnes9x gtkgo gtktalog gtoaster guikachu guikachu2rcp lightlab mathwar multi-gnome-terminal nethack-gnome pimppa powershell r-omegahat-rgtk sanduhr sgcontrol snac soundtracker spacechart telegnome terraform xemacs21-gnome-mule xemacs21-gnome-mule-canna-wnn xemacs21-gnome-nomule xgsmlib xwine yank In addition, a few packages depend on the perl bindings: gtkgrepmail bins I believe this is the sum total of all remaining GNOME 1 packages (not to be confused with GTK 1.2 packages, of which there are a lot more). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
