Just wondering about some things for plugins in the geany-plugins
release. (This doesn't apply for any plugins in SVN that aren't part
of the release).
Should there be a common minimum version for GTK/GLib? I think this
might be a good idea.
I agree. Should be the same as Geany's in my opinion.
Yes, please.
I don't think the main Geany app should force plugin writers on any
GTK/GLib version.
It should be possible for the author/maintainer to use newer versions if
he thinks the new functions make it easier for him to maintain it, or if
they make the plugin better or something.
But that all doesn't work since the plugins are combined to a single
package. They should built together, which basically implies a minimum
GTK/GLib version. I think it doesn't necessarily have to be the minimum
versions Geany uses.
Also for small obvious fixes to plugins (e.g. to get them to build),
should we just commit them ourselves rather than going through the
maintainer (that might be too busy to respond for a while)?
Its hard to say where to stop as some fixes will need some more than
changing two line
I'm a bit puzzled about this.
Basically I think it should be ok to patch some trivial things like the
currently broken build of the codenav plugin which uses too new GLib
functions (which is in this case very easy to fix, as mentioned in
another thread on this list).
OTOH, I also like the idea of independent modules which are completely
in the responsibility of the maintainer. But of course, this doesn't
make much sense when the maintainers disappear.
So, I'm not really clear about this. Maybe it is indeed better to fix
rather easy or otherwise important things (like GTK 2.8 compatibility
if we want to go for it).
I'm definitely with Nick here
