Re: Packages still depending on GTK+ 1.2

2008-12-09 Thread Morten Kjeldgaard
Dear Neil & Gunner,

Thank you for your long, detailed and convincing postings in this
thread. I really appreciate it! The argument that finally made me
surrender was that time is perhaps better spent helping upstream authors
make the conversion. So I guess we're on the same page now. And I'd be
crazy not to listen to a couple of heavy-weight experienced DDs :-)

Having said that, understand this: scientists are the most conservative
programmers on the planet. As someone interested in bringing as many
science programs into the distribution as possible, I think others in
the science-teams agree that dealing with upstream can be an uphill battle!

Things like copyright is almost never in order, the tarballs contain all
kinds of strange files that require repackaging, man pages are almost
never there, and the documentation is often scarce (of course there is
often an associated article in a scientific journal). Upstream authors
are always very positive, but there often a long waiting time for delivery.

On top of this, asking a scientist for updating the software for a new
version of a toolkit will come as an extra burden. Scientists will see
this as endless quest for your own shadow. When they've finally gotten
around to updating their software to GTK+ 2 (say), version 3 will have
long replaced it.

But perhaps that is the harsh reality of life for us in the science teams.

Cheers,
Morten

You can replace science and scientists with almost anything in your

from a very lot of other applications in Debian.

Fortunately, porting to GTK+ 3 is going to be *much* easier. I’ll post

Stable and Testing security teams make great work. It is just a shame that

Agree on this - But the moment you are providing a library (and
specially a library that was hugely popular in the past), you are
opening the door to all kinds of applications to use it. Yes, I can
code up a perfectly secure Gtk1.2 app that interacts only with me, but
having a stale library in our pool makes people be creative about
it... Or makes people ITP an old, abandoned but great tool not once
updated since 1999.

Agree. But people might willing to invest some energy into porting
their eight year old applications so they run on any modern-day
distribution. And if they are sure their application runs with closed,
secure data, and if the application is production-quality and does not
need to be touched... Well, you can perfectly keep a cluster of Woody
machines for a long time!

I have posted my notes here:

If you want to replace gsnes9x which is a frontend, you need another

Why not remove the -dev packages first.  That way no package can be
rebuilt or upgraded (it must be ported to the new version of the library)
but users can continue to use the binaries until the library is finally 
removed.  This way it would be obvious which packages need to be worked 
on.  

I realise that this would break the build-depends, but I suppose it is meant
to.

That would make every reverse dependency instantly buggy with

sadly, means retaining all -dev packages necessary for those builds.
What we have must be buildable from source.

Well perhaps what is needed is a way of marking a package as deprecated,
and this was what I was trying (badly) to achieve.  Better to be explicit.

This would trigger a warning whenever it was built rather than actually
stopping it being build.  That way package maintainers would gets warning
in good time that they need to make the required changes before the
package is actually removed.

Maybe "Section: oldlibs" needs to be more forcefully expressed?

"Any library in Section: oldlibs will be removed from Debian after the
next stable release."

That just moves the debate to the decision about when the library
should change section.

There will always be that point where some want it marked and some do
not. There can be no hard-and-fast rule, each case has to be decided on
merit which is where the disputes start.

I doubt that this would make a huge difference - it would have to be
more than just a warning.

To me, only having gtk1.2 in stable is a sufficient solution for now -
i.e. make it impossible for any packages depending on gtk1.2 to be
released in Squeeze. Maybe it's too late to remove gtk1.2 from Lenny,
sadly.

Marking a package as worth removal is a technical step - deciding if a
package warrants such a tag cannot be reduced to a set of rules that
would apply equally across all such cases, we need discussion and an
eventual consensus. gtk1.2 shows that a consensus is unlikely to become
unanimous and some people, some packages, will simply have to lose out.

We can set guidelines for how to determine that point but I find it
hard to see how a uniform set of rules can be devised to meet all such
cases.

We can try and say that a particular library must only have N number of
SONAMEs in Debian at the same time but then we have libdb4.x to sort
out first.

We could say that a particular library must have no more than N number
of reverse dependencies that have not migrated before being marked as
warranting removal - in reality that would have to be a percentage but
then we would probably have dropped GnuCash a long time before it was
finally ported to Gtk+2.0, so the relative importance of the reverse
dependencies comes into play.

If those four "Thou shalt" sentences are the whole license text, I see
other issues.

There's no clear permission to distribute (DFSG#1): if "dispense" may
be assumed to mean "distribute", the fourth sentence sounds like an
obligation, rather than like a grant of permission.
Am I *compelled* to use and distribute libio-pager-perl?!?

There's no clear permission to modify and distribute modified versions
(DFSG#3).

Moreover, the license text does not seem to be drafted in a legally
sound manner...

Is this package planned to be uploaded to main or contrib?
Or is it meant for the non-free archive?

As usual, my disclaimers apply: IANAL, TINLA, IANADD, TINASOTODP.


P.S.: why are we refraining from Cc:ing the bug address?

OK, I think that you have a good point: if removed in Lenny+1, GTK+1.2 will
still be apt-gettable for around three years, and then hopefully forever from
snapshots.debian.org.

Have a nice day,

And archive.debian.org, which includes sarge -> Debian-0.93R6.

With reference to:

mtx-changer.Adic-Scalar-24 has been fixed in the Bacula repository.

Committed revision 8134.

NOTE: the code wasn't part of Bacula proper.  It's one of the examples
