The ROAD-AHEAD: GNOME 2.0 and guile-gtk

The ROAD-AHEAD: GNOME 2.0 and guile-gtk

[Ariel Rios]

Hi everyone,
I have proposed the inclusion of gnome-guile (and thus of guile-gtk) in
the new GNOME
2.0 release and it has been almost accepted. We are some months away
from
Gtk 1.4 freeze and more months away from the actual release, still I
think we have some
issues to be solved.

1)Threading; 
2)Change of the .defs file format
3)Make guile-gtk work with Gtk+1.4

This obviously means serious breackage in guile-gtk for a while...
Is there any objection? Do someone need a new release before major
surgery?

Ok. So we can put this in the very low priority queue.

I think that making guile-gtk to work and compile with Gtk HEAD
is really more more important.

Ah, I remember.  I think defsformat.txt is too unfinished to be
implemented already.  I myself would wait with a new .defs format
until it is clear that it is an advantage to the status quo.  That is,
I'm not against using some other format, but I don't think it is
important.

Oh yes, sure.

A new defs file format was proposed to be used as a standard.
They are based in guile-gtk with major modifications to
include some other nice things. The proposal is included
in CVS Gtk+ HEAD in gtk+/docs/defsformat.txt

I don't know... what would be the advantages?

   Can you quickly describe what you mean by that?

a related question... would it be possible (or desirable) to move the
wrapping methodology to use SWIG?

thanks for guile-gtk!
