Hey, could you please bump gwibber to 3.2.0.1 (As it is part of the Gnome desktop environment)? :) Reproducible: Always Expected Results: Version Bump
Thanks for the version bump notice. Assigning to maintainer
You're welcome! :) Thanks for assigning the packages to the maintainer(s). :) But I think this package should be assigned to gnome@gentoo.org Have a great day, Ralf
In fact it should be assigned to tante according to metadata.xml.
According to git log output of gnome-overlay, gwibber is removed from it long time ago, so i set proper assignee and add other maintainers from tree's metadata.xml to CC
There is now a gwibber-3.6.0
afaik is not not possible to integrate gwibber to Gentoo anymore because it's become very ubuntu-specific. Jurgen should know better
The problem is that gwibber these days depends on many moving pieces that are available on a Ubuntu desktop but not to the rest of the world (they are available in some source tree on launchpad but it's hard to see which of the branches contains which of the pieces and patches you need). To build current gwibber you'd need to patch some of the libraries in the X/Gnome stack to comply with the Ubuntu stack (without knowing which other patches those will have to drag in as well) so at this point I consider Gwibber pretty much dead for non-Ubuntu platforms. I'll try to see if I beat the newer version into obedience but I don't think that it's gonna happen.
I checked it out again. The situation hasn't improved, in fact it pulls in even more ubuntu stuff we don't package atm. Considering Gwibbers flaky quality and immense resource footprint, I'd advise people to switch applications. Packing it does not seem feasible at the moment (and looking at how it basically has no real development community anymore I don't see that changing)

These problems have been going on for a while and getting worse with every new version. +1 to get rid of it.
gone
