However I decided to just drop the plugin (because glib didn't build) and forgot to remove glib from svn. So it's OK for me to remove glib (and gtk1) from svn.. -- Jani Välimaa

Another question to ask is if we really need mdbtools :) But before sending this email, I checked mdbtools tarball, and as far as I could see, the configure checks for glib/gtk 2.0, so maybe it's just the build requirements in the .spec that needs to be adjusted. Could you test building mdbtools using glib2? Christophe

[Mageia-dev] glib 1.2
Hi, During a discussion on IRC, I realized that glib 1.2 had been imported in the svn repository http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/glib/ This library has been obsolete for years now, and I'm not sure at all there is any "interesting" app still needing it. I'd really recommend trying hard to keep glib 1.2 away from the repository to avoid having really old and obsolete packages that noone will use anyway. This would probably save some maintainance time to some people. Cheers, Christophe
