It's a plugin in the common LV2 format for autotuning audio recordings in software like for example Ardour.

This depends on GTK 2, which we want to remove from repos, and hasn't received updates in a long time. I'm not sure it makes sense to accept this.

Would the plugin work if it is extracted from the deb and put into ~/.lv2 or will it not work without gtk2 dependencies?

ericonr commented 3 years ago

No idea :P

russnes commented 3 years ago

There are other similar lv2 plugins available so if it is a hassle then I suppose it's OK to drop it

ericonr commented 3 years ago

I also found out ardour uses gtk2, so the situation becomes fuzzy with these plugins.

jrigg commented 3 years ago

Ardour upstream has indicated that they have no plans to switch to GTK3 and will stick to GTK2 for the foreseeable future. There are other widely used audio packages depending on GTK2, eg. alsa-tools, patchage, suil etc.

What is the proposed time scale for removal of GTK2?

What is the proposed time scale for removal of GTK2?

There isn't one yet, and there is a lot of software that blocks it. The idea is mostly to avoid adding yet more stuff that can become a blocker down the road for removal. And we have to worry about eventual security issues and even things stopping working/building at all at some point in the future, so piling on more and more GTK2 isn't a pleasant prospect. Ardour's stance is worrying.
