Source: gtkglext
Severity: serious

gtkglext is obsolete, and is no longer maintained by its former upstream developers. The Debian package version was released in 2006 and the package depends on GTK2, which is deprecated as well. There is a GTK3 port at https://github.com/tdz/gtkglext which was not touched for a decade and did not gain traction because there is a more official OpenGL binding for GTK3.

gtkglext should not be released with trixie even if the GTK2 removal does not happen. As far as I can see, there is no very popular software which has not migrated away from it. To those who maintain the reverse dependencies: You should check if your package really needs to depend on gtkglext and might be able to drop this dependency.
