Title: libglade update
Post by: bmarkus on January 17, 2011, 05:20:46 AM

Current libglade in repo is 2.6.4 dated back to 2009/06/30 while latest upstream is 3.6 see http://glade.gnome.org/

For sure there are many extensions depends on 2.6.4, replacing it with 3.6 would break them I guess. Proposal is to keep as it is and add latest upstream as libglade3.tcz to repo.

from my understanding libglade and glade are different projects

2.6.4 is the latest stable, and there doesn't seem to yet be a 2.7 development branch.

When a 3.x version arrives, it will likely be geared for gtk3, and would be best saved for whenever the move to gtk3 is made during a major TC release.   But whatever the next stable version is that is compatible with the current repo will be used when it is released.

OK, thanks.
