[CentOS-devel] GTK 2 removal from RHEL 10+

Hi everyone,

I'm actually resending this again, as I've sent it here at the same time as
to fedora-devel (
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/KH2BKEOZTLV4G6WF5FUXU6RYDPC62UEX/),
but it probably never reached centos-devel as I'm not able to find it in
archives.

This is an early heads-up about GTK 2 removal from RHEL 10+ (the gtk2
package was marked as unwanted in ELN with
https://github.com/minimization/content-resolver-input/commit/b6d44e496f46bd2444e8e24dd3e9113b326817ac).
The toolkit served us gratefully, but it starts to show its age with
regards to modern technologies such as Wayland, HiDPI screens, HDR and
others.

In RHEL 10 the GTK 3 and GTK 4 will still continue to be available for
everyone to use.

Regards,

Tom Popela
