 hexa | would it be fair to ask you guys to get rid of everything python2 in the gnome world? | 17:50:18 |
| hexa | * would it be fair to ask you guys to get rid of most everything python2 in the gnome world? | 17:50:22 |
| hexa | most stuff that uses pygtk, pygobject2, pycairo (the python2 one) | 17:50:43 |
 piegames | Context: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/148779 | 17:51:11 |
| hexa | should only be some remaining gnome-2 parts | 17:51:44 |
| piegames | Since when is GNOME 2 end of life? Would it be fair to remove it entirely while we're at it? | 17:53:53 |
| piegames | Google says that the last release (2.32) was over a decade ago (2010) | 17:55:10 |
| SigmaSquadron | GNOME 2 has been EOL since GNOME 3.2 launched, which was over 10 years ago. | 18:13:01 |
 jonringer | Ah yes, the great "no valid release" period, which spawned unity | 18:23:57 |

 Jan Tojnar | GNOME should not really depend on gnome2 | 21:13:12 |
| Jan Tojnar | some random third party apps do | 21:13:25 |
| Jan Tojnar | and then there is stuff like chromium and java which depend on GConf and ORBit (we should probably remove those dependencies since those will probably not work without daemons anyway) but I am not sure if removing those dependencies does not require some patches | 21:16:17 |
| Jan Tojnar | hexa: also as mentioned on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/148779, pygtk is blocked by GIMP at least | 21:18:15 |
| Jan Tojnar | * hexa: also, as mentioned on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/148779, pygtk is blocked by GIMP at least | 21:18:23 |
| hexa | yes, we can make an exception for gimp if need be | 21:18:55 |
| hexa | but I wonder if 2.99.8 could work instead | 21:19:03 |

| hexa | these are the offending files in the gnome namespace | 21:20:22 |
| Jan Tojnar | that is still an unstable version | 21:20:35 |
| hexa | so I think we need to make an exception for gimp and possibly neard? | 21:20:56 |
| Jan Tojnar | again, nothing in gnome should depend on gnome2 | 21:21:56 |
| Jan Tojnar | by the way, in the past I tried removing various libraries from gnome2 prefix and everything that depended on them | 21:25:42 |
| Jan Tojnar | but I mostly only managed to get rid of packages with few dependents, the remaining were too much work | 21:26:35 |
| Jan Tojnar | by the way, more cleanup https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/154834 | 21:28:55 |
| Jan Tojnar | * on a slightly different note, more cleanups https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/154834 | 21:29:32 |
