Re: Is there a .defs spec? Where?

[Kjell Ahlstedt <kjell ahlstedt bredband net>]

h2def.py contains the link
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2000-January/msg00070.html
which contains a draft .defs spec. There is a series of such drafts in the gtk-devel-list from January and February 2000. Our present .defs files do not comply exactly with any version of the spec that I've seen (including the gtk+ commit that you linked to).
I'll just let generate_extra_defs.cc add
  (deprecated #t)
to deprecated signals and properties.

I can't find it anymore. It was here:
http://www.gnome.org/~james/defs-format.html
though I don't know if that was the latest version.

And it should be here, if the waybackmachine works again for that page
some time:

es/defs-format.html

However, maybe this was a later official version:

There are not so many projects that use the .defs format now, so you
should feel free to use it however you like.

Where can I find that spec?

It would be fine if gmmproc could report wrapped signals and
properties that are deprecated in glib/gtk+ but not in glibmm/gtkmm.
To be able to do that, I want to add some information to the
*_signals.defs files. If these files meet a spec, I want them to meet
that spec also after my changes, if       possible.
