Source: librsvg Version: 2.54.7+dfsg-2 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: werdah...@riseup.netIt would be nice if we updated librsvg to 2.56 (GNOME 44 series) or 2.58 (GNOME 45 series). But 2.56 drops the vendored Rust crate dependencies, forcing us to either revendor librsvg or use the Debian packaged crates. That would complicate the packaging since it would tie librsvg into the Rust GTK transitions and other Rust library transitions. It's possible; just not sure we want to do it. Matthias (CC'd) did some work earlier on this; I believe there are a few more Rust crates that would need to be packaged if we wanted to test this more. See also these related librsvg bugs: https://bugs.debian.org/1017892 https://bugs.debian.org/1017906 One extra detail: my understanding is that current Ubuntu best practice is to vendor all Rust crates used as dependencies for libraries and apps in Ubuntu main (which includes librsvg). This is mentioned at https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-mir Alternatively, we could ask the librsvg developers to revendor librsvg. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
Revisiting: After the recent gtk-rs upload building only with debian tooling/ packages might not be that far off.
Crates in debian that need updating: - rctree - data-url crates that need packaging from scratch: - rawpointer - matrixmultiply - nalgebra - nalgebra-macros - simba - lopdf - yeslogic-fontconfig-sysI tend towards packaging all those. Since gtk3-rs is only getting security updates upstream future gtk-rs transitions won't be as much work. There's already a few GUI programs tied into the stack so tying librsvg2 in
doesn't seem too bad imo. re-vendoring the tarball with cargo vendor is also an option if you prefer that. The crate librsvg does not get built from source yet; I haven't looking into how to do that, but it'll be needed
eventually to enable svg rendering support in Loupe. Let me know if you want me to start packaging those missing crates.
