Hi, I made a few changes to imlib and it compiles without Gtk1 now. Here is the source package: http://roboticoverlords.org/arch/imlib-1.9.15-14.src.tar.gz I wanted to test it with fvwm, but I could not, because ftp://ftp.fvwm.org/pub/fvwm/version-2/fvwm-2.6.5.tar.bz2 is no longer available. Please update the imlib package. If it is now possible to move the old and unmaintained gtk1, qt3 and kdelibs3 packages from the official repositories to AUR, that would be great. Best regards, Alexander Rødseth xyproto / TU

As I understand the situation, the holdups concerning gtk1, kdelibs3 and qt3 are now resolved, and there is a strong consensus that moving these packages is a good idea. We don't want to act as upstream for old, unmaintained, obsolete and potentially insecure libraries.

I've just removed qt3/kdelibs3 (as well as packages depending on them) from the repos. In the next few days, I'll check your work on imlib and see what can be done with gtk1. This thread was started when I was inactive so I didn't really had time to go through this earlier.
