There is a GTK+ 2 -> GTK+ 3 porting guide:

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-migrating-2-to-3.html

Maybe that helps.

I am unaware of any such library. The last major standalone gtk2
terminal, lxterminal, just switched to gtk3 and vte2.91 in Debian.

Thanks,

Would you be able to give any better replacement for the deprecated
libvte9 which does not require a gtk3 port?  Sorry for my very naive
attempt but I simply have no idea about GTK porting issues.

Kind regards

Andreas,

I see that you pushed a commit to Build-Depend on libvte-2.91-dev. But
vte2.91 is gtk3 only so this bug is also a request to port rasmol to
gtk3.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha

I've commited some general packaging changes (short dh would be a nice
thing to have as well but I did not want to fiddle around with this in
a state where the package does not build.  The issue remains the same
for me as I reported previously:

We do not intent to release Debian 10 "Buster" with the unmaintained
src: vte. Therefore, I am raising the severity of this bug.
