Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:deb-gview
I request assistance with maintaining the deb-gview package, as it's a native package, this is principally "upstream" development. The current package is stable and fine as it has been ported to GTK3, thanks to Josef Schneider. (Josef, if you're interested in the GTK4 port, you're more than welcome to help out.) I've been tinkering with a port to GTK4 and I've got a fork in Salsa which is partially functional: https://salsa.debian.org/codehelp/deb-gview/ Originally written for GTK2, the changes for GTK4 are larger than I really wanted to do. I've got it mostly functional under GTK4 for my needs, from the command line. I'm happy to look at migrating the Help support from spawning the manpage to an actual Help document but there are annoying bugs in the GTK4 handling for which I'd like some help. In particular, how to wrangle a GTK4 Application into loading multiple windows, both from the command line and from the GUI. It would also be useful if anyone knows how to do a TreeView in GTK4 which isn't reliant on an external file system. The package uses autotools and C, but doesn't use XML UI files or CSS. Most of the old GTK2 code has been removed, some remains as comments to remind me of the functionality which is not yet working. I'm staying emeritus for now, I have limited time available for tinkering in C, so I won't be returning to doing uploads. The package description is: Displays Debian control information, devscript details and details of the files that would be installed (names, sizes and locations). Files within the package can be viewed within the package or externally. . Accepts package locations on the command line to support the 'open' command in various file managers, one window for each package. Packages do not need to be installed to be viewed. Opening a changes file opens a new window for each package specified in the changes file. . Individual package files or packages referenced in a changes file can be viewed from local or remote filesystems.
