Is it somethingthat has to be done by experienced GTK hackers or can it be handled asa side project?I think any moderately experienced developer could tackle this (e.g. someone who has implemented his own widget at some point). A closing word on the library name, since this'd be an ABI break, such a library only makes sense for Gtk+-3.0 (or 2.99.0) and should probably advertise that it ships deprecated Gtk+ stuff. So the best name is probably libgtk3deprecated for this (there could possibly be a libgtk4deprecated as well at some point).
Seconded. And there's a precedent, too -- Gtk2::Deprecated for gtk2- perl, which contains the widgets that were already deprecated as of gtk +-2.0.0.
http://markmail.org/message/qdo73axb72rr5i3kThe maintenance effort here has been effectively nil -- maybe six or eight hours over four years. A fair portion of that has been answering help request emails with "this stuff is old and busted, port to the new hotness."
