caribou-gtk2.patch

I am currently cleanup my system to remove all GTK+ 2 related stuff.
The one left has been caribou that is needed by gnome-shell.

At the moment the GTK+ 2 dependency is hard coded in the ebuild and not controllable by an USE flag.

I changed the ebuild in my local overlay to control the GTK+ 2 support.

A diff of the ebuild is attached.
Comment 1 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2017-12-29 13:55:58 UTC
Thanks. Not sure when we get to looking at this in detail, but note that caribou will go away with GNOME-3.28 (as something potentially pulled in by gnome meta at least). gnome-shell-3.28 will gain its own on-screen keyboard code or something.
Comment 2 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2018-02-20 08:15:49 UTC
Note that caribou will not be a thing anymore with GNOME 3.28. It will have on-screen keyboard in gnome-shell itself.

    app-accessibility/caribou: Package clean-up
    
    * Update to EAPI7.
    
    * Convert to python-single-r1, as it doesn't look
    like it actually installs python bindings. Also
    remove env setup handling from launcher scripts.
    
    * Drop GTK-2 support.
