Bug 711684 – <media-gfx/gimp-3[python] depends on dev-python/pygtk

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sergey Torokhov 2020-03-06 14:20:54 UTC]

The dev-python/pygtk is currently required to provide gui for python2 based plugins in <=gimp-2.10. The example of such plugin is portage tree package media-plugins/gimp-resynthesizer that provides additional more powerful tools for retouching and "Heal" etc.

Removing dev-python/pygtk dependency from gimp-2.10.28.ebuild (along with python2 plugins support) results in issue in first 24hours with ask to restore it: https://bugs.gentoo.org/711628

(See also: https://bugs.gentoo.org/706462)

Reproducible: Always

# These packages (or package versions) still require Python 2.7.
# They are either dead upstream, their Python 3 porting efforts are
# not progressing or their maintainers are simply unresponsive.
# Please do not remove any packages from this list unless you actually
# port it to Python 3.
# Removal in 30 days.  Tracker bug #694800.

After the dropping of media-plugins/gimp-resynthesizer the dev-python/pygtk will not be needed anymore as dependency because there will not be any package in portage tree that requires gimp-2[python].

    media-gfx/gimp: cleanup ebulds depend on py2, droped dev-python/pygtk
    
    As media-gimp-2.10.20 is depend on >=media-libs/babl-0.1.78
    and >=media-gegl-0.4.24 therefore early of them should be dropped too.
