Drop support for Ruby 1.8

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2

Hi, all

I’d like to drop support for Ruby 1.8 on new packages(gdk3, gtk3,
gtksourceview3, vte3 and gvlc).
What do you think?

Thanks,

Hi Masaaki

I do not known any project implementing both ruby1.8 and gtk3 or gvlc
so no objection from me.

I would go as far as saying to drop 1.8 altogether, and put it into
maintenance mode only. So, yes, I’m all for dropping it for new
packages.

I tried compiling the latest ruby-gnome2 code last night but I ran into
problems with the gtk3 build. I’m on Fedora 15
(gtk3-devel-3.0.12-1.fc15), but this version of gtk3 doesn’t have the
font
chooser dialog stuff in it.

compiling rbgtkfontchooserdialog.c
rbgtkfontchooserdialog.c: In function ‘rg_initialize’:
rbgtkfontchooserdialog.c:39:5: warning: implicit declaration of function
‘gtk_font_chooser_dialog_new’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
rbgtkfontchooserdialog.c:39:5: warning: nested extern declaration of
‘gtk_font_chooser_dialog_new’ [-Wnested-externs]
rbgtkfontchooserdialog.c:39:12: warning: assignment makes pointer from

undeclared (first use in this function)
rbgtkfontchooserdialog.c:48:33: note: each undeclared identifier is
reported only once for each function it appears in
make[2]: *** [rbgtkfontchooserdialog.o] Error 1

Is this something we can enable/disable based on the version of GTK3
that
is installed? Or do I need to upgrade my system to be able to use the
new
stuff?

Ok. so I have seen many “standarizations” in the last few builds. What
should I focus on if I want to get gnomecavas back in the mix.

I’d give that a thumbs up. I mean old school users like me can’t even take
advantage of things like gtk3.

I’d like to pull back gnomecanvas. I guess I will sign up for it. Its
just
that I run a ton of gnomecanvas stuff, and we are stuck with CentOS 5.7
and
RHEL 5.7. which will never have goocanvas.

Who do I need to please to get a Ruby-gnome2 developer hat on. I’ve been
trying over the last couple months to understand it. I’m now about ready
to
jump in and say “yes I will be the domo”
