Hello folks, I am trying to resolve a problem* that only affects Ubuntu 16.04. The announcement to ctoss-project-issues said "All non EOLed Linux distributions are already on Gtk 3.24" - however Ubuntu 16.04 which is EOL in 2024 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases> uses GTK 3.18 <https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libgtk-3-0>.
Do we (eclipse dev community) consider Ubuntu 16.04 EOL for Eclipse purposes. If so and if GTK 3.18 isn't really supported going forward I am a lot less likely to invest the time to fix this problem. * If you are interested: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=549013 is the problem I am trying to fix, the existing fix regressed other stuff ( see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=558536 and its dups ) so I have to back it out and try again. BTW I don't know for sure if it is a GTK problem or an Ubuntu global menu problem or some other interaction between everything. Thanks for your input, Jonah ~~~ Jonah Graham Kichwa Coders www.kichwacoders.com On Thu, 12 Mar 2020 at 05:12, Aleksandar Kurtakov <akurt...@redhat.com> wrote: > Hey everyone, > SWT min Gtk version is going to be bumped again this release (to require > Gtk 3.20+).
