Any signs of upstream plans to port away to GTK+3, GTK4, Qt or sth. else?
all i found (i did not try hard) was this: https://discourse.ardour.org/t/gtk3-migration/101873 as the work started on ardour-7, the things might change (or not).
Actually, libgnomecanvas and libgnomecanvasmm have not been required since 2017. It also doesn't seem to use libxslt anywhere, I couldn't find any reference in the source code or build scripts.
dev-cpp/libgnomecanvasmm:2.6 was apparently dropped in commit e9526a355ffb2cc4dd787d3ec621db565728703a.

I still see deps =gnome-base/libgnomecanvas-2 and dev-libs/libxslt in the ebuild though.

The builds still need -Wno-deprecated* flags adding to the ebuild.
It needs , '-Wno-deprecated-declarations' adding to the basic-warnings to get it to build.
To be clear, upstream has no intention of porting at the current moment: - https://discourse.ardour.org/t/gtk3-migration/101873 - https://discourse.ardour.org/t/gtk-2-has-been-deprecated-is-there-a-roadmap-for-removal/105214 Unless someone wants to take up porting and send in a PR, this probably won't change.
