Description Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2021-02-08 19:40:57 UTC
Release in Oct 2020. Apparently still depends on gtk-sharp:2.

* Add plugin to allow copying the current offset to clipboard (gh #15).
* Fix display of Courier font glyphs (gh #25).
* Use Gtk.Builder for UI loading, drop libglade (gh #2).
* Move to the meson build system, drop autotools.
* Fix crash when plugins directory path is a file (gh #32).
* Add binary+ASCII layout file (gh #23).
* Fix issue with statusbar not showing all information (gh #14).

Thanks for letting me know, I'm not sure what I can do about gtk-sharp:2, but I've bumped the ebuild anyway (in commit 4514d892d9c0), since it now builds using meson which seems to make things just work more easily.  5:)
Comment 2 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2021-03-13 21:59:21 UTC
Is there any alternative that could be advertised instead? This is only one of two applications effectively blocking cleanup.

Even if upstream converted their application to gtk-sharp-3, support for gtk-sharp-3 within gentoo seems to be non-existent?  As such I suspect that this tool will end up being removed one way or another.  I have however asked if there are any plans for porting to gtk-sharp-3 just in case:

I've not found any alternatives of the same quality and speed as bless.

To be fair, we could add it ;)
