Nobody else is apparently > willing to do it. I am the gbib maintainer and despite the fact that it is fairly unmaintained upstream I use it regularly and know of no good replacement. I would love to port it it to GTK2, and it is a fairly simple UI, but while I can keep on top of any RC bugs which may arise (there are none at the moment), and do the odd tweak, I certainly don't know enough GTK to be able to port it to GTK2; nor do I have the time to learn right now. Are there any guides, howtos, instructions or anything else useful for porting gtk1 apps to gtk2? I certainly would like to keep this package I use daily in Debian, as I'm sure would many of my 350*(popcon factor) users. Thanks, Matt -- Matthew Johnson Trinity Hall IT Support
