No. The team in Debian familiar with librsvg decides that its end of life is reached. I will not be comfortable with sidestepping that decision by essentially taking over maintenance with Sugarlabs as new upstream! > Porting from python-rsvg to gir1.2-rsvg-2.0 would also require porting > to GTK+ 2 GObject introspection. This would break compatibility with > downloaded Sugar activities. GTK+ 2.x is on its way out. And _that_ is really what breaks activities depending on GTK+ 2.x. Activities using GTK+ 2.x is expected to stop working with Debian relatively soon. I don't see any other (realistic) option than porting to modern stuff like GTK+ 3.x and gir. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
