[Bug 444527] [NEW] FTBFS? (Perhaps upgrade to gEDA 1.6.0)

[Peter Clifton]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: geda-gattrib

During development of gEDA 1.6.0, we became aware that with GTK versions
greater than 2.17.x, geda-gattrib will not build due to changes in GTK
API. (Renaming of some private members which the gtk-extra derived code
in gattrib (ab)used).

I presume that this will be discovered during the final rebuilds of
Karmic.

This issue was resolved during gEDA 1.6.0 development, and although I
know karmic is in freeze at the moment - uploading 1.6.0 would be a neat
way to get around this problem.

If uploading 1.6.0 is not possible, it might be possible to patch the
build for geda-gattrib with a similar fix to that we applied for 1.6.0.
This removed the bit-rotten GtkItemEntry code in favour of using a plain
GtkEntry.

For those who use gEDA, gEDA 1.6.0 will be a marked improvement upon
gEDA 1.4.x. Our user base is not that large though.. so potential impact
to the wider Ubuntu user-base (should there be any issues with gEDA
1.6.0) is very small.

** Affects: geda-gattrib (Ubuntu)
