Oh, well, so the version of gtk2hs-builttols is 0.13.0.4, but
gtk2hsC2hs -v says 0.13.13. And hs-cairo uses a custom Gtk2HsSetup.hs
which tells one to install gtk2hs-buildtools (but not which version).
So I'll wait a little bit longer before I remove it. AFAIK, there
are only two leaf ports needing it: devel/bustle, for which aja@
already said it's ok to remove it, and x11/bluetile, which looks
almost dead upstream (no release since 4 years; ok, maybe it's just
ready and perfect).
If anyone thinks gtk2hs-buildtools and anything depending on it is
worth keeping in our tree for what we already have, or for cool new
tools, please go ahead and send diffs. Please don't rely on me to
do all that haskell update madness every 12 -- 18 months alone.
@Jona: the above rantish paragraph is not meant for you -- I really
appreciate your contributions. There's only that gazillions of 'how
can i help' mails i frequently get from other people about haskell
ports and that I spend time to answer and then never get feedback
nor diffs.
Ciao,
Kili
