Upgrade gpa from GTK+ 2.2 to 2.4?

Hi gpa developers, I wonder whether there is any reason not to upgrade the minimum version of GTK+ 2.2 to 2.4. With 2.4 various new interesting methods have been introduced. Getting rid of any deprecated methods is also interesting, I guess. Or is even GTK+ 2.6 something we can assume to be everywhere where gpa aims for?

I have no objection; however, such a bumb should be done when the new methods are actually used (ie, ideally, the minimum required version should reflect the minimum actually required version). > Getting rid of any deprecated methods is also interesting, I guess. > Or is even GTK+ 2.6 something we can assume to be everywhere where > gpa aims for? Again, the minimum required version should be motivated by actual changes in the code base. Currently, we build gpg4win against glib 2.9 and gtk 2.6. As such I have no objection to go up to there, assuming the windows port of that version is complete with respect to the features you want to use. Beyond that (say, 2.8), more testing would be required if the new version compiles and runs correctly on Windows. Gtk 2.8 was released over a year ago, so we can go even up to that. It seems to be the current stable version in use in distributions (Ubuntu Drapper for example). The limiting factor is the Windows port. Thanks, Marcus

Agreed. I don't know for what gpa-dev should actually be used for. In the past we used it for Aegypten related stuff. Now that GnuPG 2.0 has been released the regular GnuPG mailing lists are better suited for this. Even the extra tools like dirmngr and pinentry have their place there because they are closely related to GnuPG. Thus we might even thinking of closing gpa-dev and moving existing users over to another lists. That list should then be used for GPA - in the sense of gpa-x.y.z.tar.bz2. I don't know whether a user and a developer list is justified. gpa-users@xxxxxxx is probably sufficient for now. Salam-Shalom, Werner
