Package: kindleclip Version: 0.6-1.1 Severity: important Tags: trixie sid User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: gtk2 oldlibs Control: block 967733 by -1 X-Debbugs-Cc: ruby-gn...@packages.debian.org
kindleclip seems to be the only package in unstable that depends on ruby-gtk2, a GTK 2 binding for Ruby. GTK 2 was superseded by GTK 3 in 2011 (see <https://bugs.debian.org/947713>). It has been discontinued by its upstream developer and no longer receives any upstream maintenance. If kindleclip is either updated to GTK 3 or removed, then src:ruby-gnome should be able to drop the ruby-gtk2 binary package, perhaps with a change similar to <https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/ruby-gnome/-/commit/42c672537e787093fbb18a83d2bcdcbb8df053ba>, which would reduce the amount of technical debt in the archive. ruby-gnome seems to provide GTK 3 bindings already, but I don't know Ruby, so I don't know where to look for a porting guide. Thanks, smcv
