I'm forwarding this from the gentoo-dev-announce mailing list. It's |
| 47 |
also on -dev as well. It seems the guy who originally came up with and |
| 48 |
maintained gkrellm sadly died a while back. From other replies I read |
| 49 |
on -dev, there is some changes coming that may make gkrellm no longer |
| 50 |
work. It has something to do with GTK-3 support. It's a bit over my |
| 51 |
head to be honest. :/ |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
First, if someone can help keep this going, it seems to be available, if |
| 54 |
the license allows someone else to take it over or fork it maybe. I |
| 55 |
don't know code but I do use gkrellm and sure would miss it. I suspect |
| 56 |
even a proxy maintainer would keep this alive. I have no idea how |
| 57 |
complicated the code for this thing is. It may be easy, it may be |
| 58 |
really advanced. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Second, if no one takes it over, what could be used in its place? I'll |
| 61 |
be honest, I don't know of anything that could replace it but I've never |
| 62 |
thought about looking either. I'm looking into app-admin category but |
| 63 |
don't see anything obvious to replace it. I've tried some KDE plasma |
| 64 |
stuff ages ago, I still prefer gkrellm. None of them I looked at comes |
| 65 |
even close. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
I'm sure I'm not the only one on this mailing list who uses gkrellm. |
| 68 |
This is sort of a heads up. Someone already a dev may take it up, they |
| 69 |
may not. Help may would save it. Either way, this is a notice of the |
| 70 |
current state and if needed, a discussion on what we can use in its place. |

Thanks. |
