- We could just make it require GTK+ 3.0. This is my suggestion -
GNOME 3 is a GTK+ 3.0-based desktop. Metacity is the GNOME
(fallback) window manager. GTK+ 3.0 will be released as a
stable toolkit before Metacity 3.0 is released. If people need
to Metacity build against older GTK+, the older tarballs aren't
going to be removed from the website.
If someone wants to use Metacity 3.0 in a legacy environment -
on an older operating system - the GSettings requirement, which we
can't get away from, would be a big problem.
Hi Owen,
Does this mean that libmetacity-private will also depend on GTK+ 3.0 ?
Compiz currently uses this library to handle frame drawing from
metacity themes and I need to know whether I need to update the deps
there.
Yes, that would be a consequence. (If we made it dual build then you'd
have to handle both which would be no fun at all.)
When switching to gtk+3, since the SONAME will need to change, maybe you could
rename the library to libmetacity, since it doesn't seem to be private at all... :)
Regards,
Emilio
