Title:
FFe: Update gnome-terminal to 3.24 and vte to 0.48
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in vte2.91 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
gnome-terminal and vte are still at their 3.20 (and 0.44) versions
because they now hard-depend on pcre2, but the pcre2 MIR (LP:
#1636666) has stalled because there is already one version of pcre in
main and it would be a major task to convert all of main to use pcre2.
So I reverted 3 commits for gnome-terminal and 5 for vte to make that
MIR less urgent. I am concerned about the long-term maintainability of
this approach - the vte patch is over 1600 lines.
gnome-terminal 3.22 and vte 0.46 have been tested in the GNOME3
Staging PPA for yakkety and zesty for months. I am not aware of any
issues from that. This is slightly different since I haven't tested
those versions without pcre2 until this weekend.
The development cycle for gnome-terminal and vte has been fairly quiet
so I believe it's safe to go ahead and update gnome-terminal to
3.23.90 and vte to 0.47.90.
