GTK2 update

(1/1)

Jason W:
The GTK2 stack is going to be updated to newer versions tonight.  I will try to make it as seamless as possible.  But if you have the current version of gtk+-2.tcel in your /tce directory , you will need to replace it with the new libraries.  Here are the extensions that are replacing gtk+-2:

gtk2.tcel
atk.tcel
cairo.tcel
pango.tcel
pixman.tcel   # pixman-0.14.0 will become pixman with this change.

If you are running in PPR mode with tcz/tce, simply remove the gtk+-2.tcel extension and replace it with the 5 mentioned above and all is good.  If you are using PPI, you will need to remove the installed gtk+-2.tcel.  Using the tce-uninstall utility would do that with this command:

tce-uninstall gtk+-2

You do not have to replace any apps that use gtk2 as they are compatible with the newer version.  I hope that this will go smoothly and not interrupt anyone's use of TC.  I will update the info files of existing extensions, and new extensions can be build against the new gtk2 stuff and the 5 extensions mentioned above will be the dependencies taking place of gtk+-2.tcel.  Let me know if there are any questions or concerns.

Jason W:
Update went smoothly and is complete for tce and tcz.  Dep files were adjusted, let me know if I missed any.  I left the gtk+-2.tcel.list file on the server so the tce-uninstaller will work for it.

Note:  If you have a PPI installation, you really may not have to update your gtk2 for a while unitl you start using apps that were built against the new gtk2 libs, which for now are nicotine and the pygtk2 stack.
