Choose approach to gdk-pixbuf upstream being unstable #1034

Closed gdt closed 3 months ago

gdt commented 4 months ago

They intentionally broke the API in a micro release: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixbuf/-/merge_requests/169

This ticket is to choose an approach from: 1) consider this an upstream bug that packaging systems should remediate 1) change formats so we no longer care about XPM, picking something we hope isn't later deleted 1) stop using gdk-pixbuf

For now we are on option 1.

We have picked 4. implement xpm ourself, and don't ask gdk-pixbuf to deal with it.

That leaves 1 as still a valid opinion, but no longer relevant to unison :-)
