Hello All,
I thought I'd quickly check how we're doing with the Gtk+ 3 build in Ubuntu Utopic, and was unpleasantly surprised to see that:
(a) A tonne more symbols that have been deprecated in Gtk+ 3.10 (principally, GtkAction)
(b) We have a few regressions, and have resumed use of some deprecated symbols that we had previously replaced. (e.g., GtkHBox)
I have updated bug #1016020 with the latest build log (20k lines caused by deprecation warnings!!) and summarised the failures in the description.
Obviously, (a) isn't our fault, but we should try to regain the progress we had made! (b) is more of a concern, since we're actually moving backwards!
Ultimately, we should really try to enforce "-Werror=deprecated-declarations" in our dev builds, but clearly we're far away from that goal. Would it be reasonable to target a deprecation-free build for Inkscape 1.0?
In the meantime, can I please request that from now on, everyone runs a strict build with both Gtk+ 2 and Gtk+ 3 before merging in any new features, so that we can ensure that we're not introducing any new warnings?
Thanks,
AV
