Greetings everypony,

Can we throw out glib 1, gtk 1 and qt3? These are seriously legacy libraries.

Check "pactree -rs glib" and "pactree -rs qt3" for dependent packages.

Cheers, Jan

Well gtk is a depends for imlib wich is required by fvwm, the WM I use. Unless imlib can work without gtk, I give a big -1 to removing glib/gtk from the repo. Beside the fact that they are old, is there any reason to remove them from the repo? I maintain these threee packages and they are working well (no bug assigned). I don't see why they should be removed especially since many apps still depends on them. Eric
