gtksourceview3 was superseded by gtksourceview4 in 2018. Both libraries provide a GTK 3 widget to display source code with syntax highlighting, for use in text editors and similar applications.
gtksourceview4 has itself been superseded by gtksourceview5 (ITP: #996609), which is for GTK 4 applications. Applications that use gtksourceview3 should switch to gtksourceview4. Even if the application is going to be ported to GTK 4 and gtksourceview5, it is probably a good idea to move to gtksourceview4 first. Upstream porting guide: https://developer-old.gnome.org/gtksourceview/4.2/porting-guide-3-to-4.html Mass-filed bugs for this will be usertagged to appear in https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bts-usertags.cgi?user=pkg-gnome-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org&tag=gtksourceview3 and will be marked as blocking #996689. I intend to open bugs at a non-RC severity, but they might be escalated to a RC severity later. For packages that provide a shared library, such as libgtksourceviewmm, this change will probably result in a transition (assuming the package is not removed altogether). dak says the following packages are affected: > smcv@coccia ~ % dak rm -R -n gtksourceview3 ... > # Broken Depends: > almanah: almanah > anjuta: anjuta > autokey: autokey-gtk > coq: coqide [amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el] > denemo: denemo > desktopfolder: desktopfolder > formiko: formiko > frama-c: frama-c-base > giggle: giggle > gitg: gitg > gnusim8085: gnusim8085 > gobby: gobby > gretl: gretl > gtk-d: libgtkdsv-3-0 [amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 s390x] > libgtkdsv-3-dev [amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 s390x] > gummi: gummi > java-gnome: libjava-gnome-jni > lablgtk3: liblablgtksourceview3-ocaml > liblablgtksourceview3-ocaml-dev > laby: laby [amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el s390x] > latexila: latexila > libgtksourceviewmm: libgtksourceviewmm-3.0-0v5 > libgtksourceviewmm-3.0-dev > mate-applets: mate-applets > meld: meld > mousepad: mousepad > oregano: oregano > pluma: gir1.2-pluma-1.0 > pluma > pspp: pspp > pychess: pychess > pycode-browser: pycode-browser > rednotebook: rednotebook > reportbug: reportbug-gtk > rmlint: rmlint-gui > sequeler: sequeler > snapper-gui: snapper-gui > sugar: python3-jarabe > sugar-pippy-activity: sugar-pippy-activity > why3: why3 > xpad: xpad > > # Broken Build-Depends: > almanah: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > anjuta: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev (>= 3.0.0) > denemo: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > desktopfolder: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > giggle: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > gitg: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev (>= 3.10) > gnusim8085: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev (>= 3.10.0) > gobby: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > gretl: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > gtk-d: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > gummi: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > java-gnome: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev (>= 3.0) > lablgtk3: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > latexila: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev (>= 3.18) > libgtksourceviewmm: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev (>= 3.18.0) > mate-applets: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > mousepad: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > oregano: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > pluma: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > pspp: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev (>= 3.22) > pychess: gir1.2-gtksource-3.0 > ruby-gnome: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > sequeler: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev > xpad: libgtksourceview-3.0-dev (>= 3.22) smcv
