Just wondering if there is a real need to have libgtk1.2 on my system, and it seems, yes there is! VO has it as a dependacy cos of the updater (but its prolly the only app i currently use that relies on gtk1.x) seeing as how your making a new client and stuff, it might be time to update the gtk version to 2.0, and use the GTK+ auto package system ( http://autopackage.org/packages/ seems lots are using it...) for an installer?

Obviously not high priority, and prolly not something you have thought about recently, but is there any reason not to?

[edit]

A *free* plus is the ability to post the .package on autopackage.org ;)

Um. Those are all packages built using autopackage, but autopackage is not their native distribution format. Autopackage is also not anything officially related to GTK+. Autopackage is just another packaging system, like .dpkg, .rpm, or Slackware's .tbz files (or do they use .tgz? I always forget...). I would support a gtk+ 2 updater. Even better, just open-source the updater and let us write our own frontends. :)

Of course, moving to Gtk+ version 2 is quite a bit of work, and I doubt any of the devs has the time to do so.

Yeah, I get that the installer is seperate, i just thought i'd point it out, as it somewhere else to get a link ;) Updating to gtk+2 might be hard, or it might not.

Anyways, i'd still like to be able to fine tune my distro (im trying to get it smaller, so I can fit it on a CD with Nvidia drivers, and a few games I play, like VO ;) but if not, ah well.

Yeah, I agree with porting the interface to GTK+2, just to make it look prettier :) I think porting isn't that hard.

Just a quick bump, I would like to know what you think of porting the updater to gtk2 :)

An autopackage would also be nice once you get signup built into the client :>
