Hi,
we made quite some good progress last week with the port. Most of the
open items have been fixed. I do rebase now on master to start merging
and keep on working on the master branches. I uploaded the current
patches at [1], the rest coming. Feel free to start commenting while
going.
Regards,
Simon

I just updated the repo, nearly all of the patches have been rebased,
cleaned and the description prettied up. Now only the Journal patches
are missing and one or two Palette patches. But the existing ones can be
looked at already, most of this is straight forward looking at the
exercise we did with the toolkit port. I will merge in the next days.

Had great feedback from Manuel on the patches and incorporated those,
updated the repo. One main thing that came up was that we use the
dynamic bindings of cairo in the shell as we use "cairo.RectangleInt()"
which is only available in the dynamic bindings. The current situation
of cairo introspection is mainly that: "The code existing in
gobject-introspection is just the minimum required to make GTK
introspection work." [1] You can see that if you look at the gir file [2].
In the toolkit-gtk3 we use the static bindings as we do want to access
things like cairo.OPERATOR_SOURCE, cairo.ImageSurface,
cairo.ImageSurface.create_from_png etc. Same we do in activities like
Browse when we want to use cairo for drawing operations.
Even mixing static and dynamic bindings seems to work fine, at the
moment there is no case where we need to, though.
Back to the Journal patches,
Simon

The ported code does use GStreamer through introspection. So we will
depend on GStreamer 1.0 (old GStreamer does not have full introspection
support).
I just checked availability of GStreamer 1.0 in the distros. In Fedora
it has been built now [1] with the basic plugins. In Ubuntu the
situation looks good as well [1]. The upcoming „Quantal Quetzal“ will
have GStreamer 1.0 and there are PPAs for Precise Pangolin.
Not sure what the situation is on other distributions. I hope they are
in a similar shape or will catch up soon.
I think it is ok to move forward with this dependency, if I missed
anything important - please speak up.
Regards,
Simon
