I'm curious why Fedora builds this package with GTK2 even though the GTK3 build option has been available for quite some time already.
*** Bug 2121874 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Does this package have a maintainer? This bug was posted almost two months ago and no one has replied yet. That's enough to pen a reply, e.g. "I don't care, I like it GTK2 way" or something.
I see 5 people being CC'ed - that's not nice that no one gives a damn. Two of them receive salaries from RedHat which kinda looks to me they could be a little bit more responsive, I don't know. Maybe I misunderstand something. GTK3 has been here for over a decade now and RedHat wants to get rid of GTK2, so building against GTK3 looks logical.
If someone objects, we could have gpicview-gtk3 and lxdm-gtk3 packages, so that people could choose which dependencies to deal with. I still don't quite understand the radio silence.
If you've got a feeling I'm sort of spamming here that's because I want to. I hate seeing my bug reports having zero reaction from the respective maintainers. I understand it's open source but writing an answer whatever it may be takes maybe a few minutes. Are you so busy with your life you don't care so much? If you don't why don't you walk away from maintaining? Or it's also extremely time consuming?
I don't want to sound like an a-hole, I'm just genuinely concerned.
I wonder if it's worth repeating this verbal diarrhea in the other similar bug report, bug 2121873.
I hope 10 emails in regard to this situation will be enough for someone to become bothered and do something.
I am going to with GTK2 for this package for now.
1) GTK2 doesn't support Wayland thus this package will require an extra dependency of running under XWayland which also means more resources (CPU, RAM) being spent unnecessarily. 2) GTK2 was deprecated a decade ago. 3) Fedora has been moving towards GTK3 for quite some time, e.g. XFCE has long fully migrated to GTK3. You've not provided any rationale behind "for now". And for how long exactly?
If someone assists, porting to GTK3 may be shorter. If not, I cannot tell for now.
