debrouxl / tilp_and_gfm

TILP (formerly GtkTiLink) can transfer data between Texas Instruments graphing calculators and a computer. It works with all link cables (parallel, serial, Black/Gray/Silver/Direct Link) and it supports the TI-Z80 series (73..86), the TI-eZ80 series (83PCE, 84+CE), the TI-68k series (89, 92, 92+, V200, 89T) and the Nspire series (Nspire Clickpad / Touchpad / CX, both CAS and non-CAS)

dependency libglade2-0 will be removed from Debian: deprecated and unmaintained upstream #72

Hi, same as for tiemu: Unfortunately libglade2-0 will be removed from Debian, c.f. Debian Bug 895517 . Can we migrate away from libglade to keep gfm alive in Debian? Best regards, Andi

Hi. Since GFM is a small application, I'd say that the right course of action is to rewrite the GUI entirely using another technology, presumably Qt GUI, which would, besides creating an official Qt-based libti client, indirectly lay the groundwork for targeting WebAssembly with libti. Also, some pieces of GFM might be movable to libtifiles or libtiopers, helping the latter ( https://github.com/debrouxl/tilibs/issues/42 ) reach critical mass.

Rewriting the TILP UI, or worse, the TIEmu UI, would be much more of a chore, though...

TILP has already been deprecated on Nixpkgs for the same reason. libti* is still present, but not TILP or GFM due to GFM requiring libglade2.

@myclevorname thank you for letting me know that it was present and then removed from nixpkgs, I was trying to package it on my own!
