Okay, |
| 2 |
Its once again time to clarify the meaning of theese : |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
gtk : Signifies that a user wants support for the Gimp ToolKit in |
| 5 |
their GUI |
| 6 |
gtk2: Signifies that in cases where there is a gtk+ 1.2 (old) |
| 7 |
and gtk+ 2.x (that means, BOTH are supported) they prefer gtk+ 2.0. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Testing logic should be as follows: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
DEPEND=" |
| 12 |
gtk? ( |
| 13 |
gtk2? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0.3 ) |
| 14 |
!gtk2? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10* ) |
| 15 |
)" |
| 16 |
And there should be -NO- case where a user can get a "gtk2" UI with the |
| 17 |
case : |
| 18 |
USE="-gtk gtk2" since this means that all gtk interfaces should be |
| 19 |
disabled. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
the gtk2 USE flag is a hack, and came only due to some migration-style |
| 23 |
applications that for a period has support for both kinds of GUI (gftp, |
| 24 |
mozilla) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The gtk2 flag is destined to dissapear from the tree, gtk+ 1.2 is |
| 27 |
unsupported, and badly broken on UTF-8 locales, and hopefully more and |
| 28 |
more applications who have both interfaces will stabilize the GTK 2 one, |
| 29 |
and then deprecate the 1.2 interface. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Yes, I know people like gtk+ 1.2, but as a user and developer who has to |
| 32 |
maintain and make programs work with it, I hate gtk+ 1.2. |
