More collaboration would indeed be a very good thing. Maybe reviving some form of the old gtk-win32-list mailing list could be helpful in discussing these long-term matters? Something like gnome-windows-list to reflect the interest in a more complete set of the GNOME platform than only GTK+ (just take a look at the nice image on http://developer.gnome.org/ for example). Also, to clarify why I've started updating Tor's scripts: - He used to make the binaries that are available on www.gtk.org and ftp.gnome.org, but has recently announced he is no longer interested in doing so [1]. This is fine, we all owe him at least a couple of beers for the service he has provided all those years! - But some of us have loads of software using these builds that suffer from bugs in GLib, GTK+ 2, etc from time to time - Being able to just drop an updated version of these platform libraries in place when it is know to fix a bug is a good thing So my intent is to continue to update Tor's scripts and the good old gtk+-bundle for as long as relevant GTK+ 2.X releases are made. What's going to be accepted as the "official" builds for GTK+ 3, I have no idea. Now, after all this discussing about build systems and what-not, my question still stands: is there interest in keeping the binaries on www.gtk.org and ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/ up to date for the remainder of GTK+-2.X's useful life?
