Going through build scripts for dependency/helper
application
like xmedcon, I
was building them against gtk2 last year for both tde13 and R14.
Do we have any
'tde' standard we are trying to enforce for minimizing the
dependencies for a
complete tde install?
What I mean is that if someone goes to install tde-full with all
helper apps,
do we want and try to say all apps with a gtk requirement should
be built
against gtk3 instead of gtk2? I for one prefer gtk2, but I can
see the logic in
standardizing around a version to minimize dependencies (and to
prevent build
failures when gtk2 is dropped)
Has anyone given this any thought? I don't like the prospect of
having to
recode older apps against a new gtk, but it is doable. The number
of apps this
will apply to is minimal.
What is a "helper app"?
Apps like xmedcon are outside the scope of Trinity. Distro
packagers and maintainers ensure the dependencies are satisfied.
