We have only recently rationalized Balsa's git structure for Gtk+
version 3, and version 4 is already in development. Trying to
build Balsa in jhbuild against Gtk+ master shows that the API,
still unstable, has changed materially. We need a strategy to
take advantage of the new version, while continuing to support
building with the stable version 3.
Unfortunately, there are still distos (e.g. Debian and Ubuntu)
shipping with 2.4.*.
Gentoo still ships 1.2.10 (but masked as depracated), various 2.24.x
versions, and 3.1x and 3.2x. I don't know the plans for 4, and a
quick search of the web site doesn't show me anything.
Did anyone point their package maintainers to Balsa 2.5? I
mentioned this earlier [1] on this list, but never got a reply...
Gentoo currently ships 2.5.2. I have submitted a version bump
request (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602404) for 2.5.3,
but there is a question about a reference for the gpgme changes not
needing gpgmepp if gpgme is 1.8.
I don't understand why the gpgme version issue should be a roadblock
to shipping Balsa 2.5.3--it shouldn't impact any other products.
Perhaps there's a conflict with some Balsa-specific Gentoo patches?
It's not the gpgme version, it's the patch to use gpgme 1.8 without
needing gpgmepp. If I can't make that case in a reasonably short time,
I'll just pull my request to add the patch, which just means that balsa
will still also require gpgmepp (or is it gpgme++? I get so confused
on those details :-) ).
Anyway, thanks for your efforts with them!
