What impact will these soon to be deprecated GNOME components have on us? gnome-vfs + gnome-mime-data to be replaced with gio libglade? Potentially to be replaced with GtkBuilder
(It was pointed out that libglade shouldn't be deprecated yet for a couple of reasons. One of which was that GNOME doesn't yet have support for a11y properties of GtkBuilder) From Vincent Untz on gnome's desktop-devel list: > Hi, > > Since we now have gio, I guess everybody agrees that we can move > gnome-vfs (and gnome-mime-data, which is a dependency for gnome-vfs) to > the to-be-deprecated part of our platform. > > To make it clear, it means we're still shipping gnome-vfs in our > platform.
