gnome-extra/gtkhtml: take over maintenance |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
gtkhtml is deprecated and our Gnome project would like to get rid of it, |
| 11 |
unfortunately without it app-text/xiphos has to be built without editor |
| 12 |
support (which is the way e.g. Debian, Ubuntu and Red Hat have gone) and |
| 13 |
from what I have seen many people are unhappy about the inability to use |
| 14 |
the Studypad or make personal annotations. Xiphos is now the only |
| 15 |
remaining consumer of this library so I shall maintain it between now |
| 16 |
and until upstream have implemented a working alternative (apparently |
| 17 |
they began to discuss it back in April), after which it will be |
| 18 |
last-rited. |

Discussed with and approved by leio on IRC. |

+ This is the old, and by now very much deprecated, Gtk+ HTML engine. It remains |
| 45 |
+ available in Gentoo because as of late July 2020 <pkg>app-text/xiphos</pkg> |
| 46 |
+ continues to rely on it for editor functionality (the alternative, WebKit-based |
| 47 |
+ editor is not compatible with <pkg>net-libs/webkit-gtk</pkg>:4), however |
| 48 |
+ it will be removed as soon as Xiphos upstream has implemented an alternative |
| 49 |
+ solution. |
