Hi all,
Version 2.0.0 of the LightDM GTK greeter was released about week ago. This release drops GTK2 support.
Therefore I propose to rename the current "lightdm-gtk3-greeter" into "lightdm-gtk-greeter" and drop the legacy "lightdm-gtk2-greeter" to AUR. looking oxygen keep the gtk3 in AUR gtk3 only themes tend to use gtk3 and gtk2 only thend to use gtk or gtk2, I will preffer keep the 3 in the name. I could keep "lightdm-gtk2-greeter" around for a while in [community] if some people want me to (I'm thinking people using MATE for example, but it's going towards GTK3 anyway), but keep in mind that you can use LXDM instead if you really need a GTK2 display manager. Or Xfce4 users, the upcoming xfce4 release is gtk2, and only after that the migration to gtk3 will start. so a gtk2-greeter will be apreciated until xfce drop gtk2, and dont forget
That's ironic, Xfce recommend lightdm as DM for the gtk2 theme, and the upcomimng xfce-gtk-engine 3.1 drop gtk3 support. that LXDM is now presumably unmaintained or in low maintainance since they migrate to QT
If there aren't any objections by the end of the week, I'll proceed with my proposal.
Me
Cheers,
