Hi everyone,
just a quick reminder about deprecation flags and tarball release :
please avoid at all cost to hardcode deprecation flags in
compilation
flags, when a module is built from a tarball (it is ok to have such
flags when building from gi checkout).
Why, you may ask ?
Well, I'm currently strugling with smoketesting GNOME 2.29.5
release and
there are some tarballs no longer building because new G_SEAL
deprecation were added in yesterday GTK+ 2.19.3 release and some
modules
were not fixed for this.
Current guilty modules :
- vte (bedhad is cooking a new release)
- gnome-utils
In a similar idea, try to avoid releasing tarballs which depends on
other unreleased tarball module version.
Since I'm the release team member taking care of 2.29.92 release,
I'm going to rant again against modules which are hardcoding
deprecation flags in their configure.in <http://configure.in> (or
Makefile.am), even when building from tarballs. Please, avoid that,
it is killing us, since many released modules are not building with
latest gtk+ 2.19.7 (new deprecated added). If you want to use
deprecation flags, check in configure.in <http://configure.in> if
you are in a git checkout and enable them in that case, but do not
enable them by default in tarballs.
Current guilty modules, which needs a new release NOW (this is
blocking GNOME 2.29.92 release):
-gnome-python-desktop (doesn't build with latest totem-pl-parser, it
seems)
I am not aware of gnome-python-desktop 2.29.1 failing to build with
newest totem-pl-parser. Just tried jhbuilding both, it works fine.
Unfortunately, the totem CFLAGS doesn't contains gtk include headers, so
it breaks when building plparser.c :
plparser.override:8:21: error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
configure.ac :
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(TOTEM_PLPARSER, [totem-plparser >=
totem_required_version pygtk-2.0 >= pygtk_required_version],
should be :
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(TOTEM_PLPARSER, [totem-plparser >=
totem_required_version pygtk-2.0 >= pygtk_required_version gtk+-2.0 ],
(sorry for not opening a bug report, I thought it was related to
deprecation)
