Re: [gentoo-dev] [RFC] gtk/gtk2/gtk3 USE flag situation

2016-05-27 Thread Brian Dolbec
r cartoonish changes to the look, feel and generally un-intuitive user interface. The new file selector is irritating to use despite getting all the old behaviour settings I know of set, the lack of the ability to paste a path into it, forcing you to navigate directory by directory, and other BS behaviour... Some apps even have less functionality and usefullnes. I have a local copy of dev-vcs/gitg-0.27 ebuild which I use daily which despite some instability is far more useful than it's "modern" counterpart. I use xfce4 for both work and my own workstation, and like it, but it's apps are getting increasingly more corrupted by gtk3isms :( So, I accept I'll not be liked by the gtk team for wanting to keep gtk2 around still. -- Brian Dolbec

When we as upstream commit patches for bugs we tag them as InVCS and close them when they are in a release. We have not kept them open until that release has been stabilized unless we've missed closing it or been distracted and forgotten to clean them up. If you want to track that at the ebuild level, you could do that, but would need to identify it's tracker in a clear way to distinguish it from code bugs. -- Brian Dolbec pgp69AoKFcWN9.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
