Package: advene
Version: 1.1-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The latest version of goocanvas (2.0.2) has been sitting in experimental for
some time. Now that Jessie has been released, I am looking at all the reverse
dependencies to see what would be required to start the transition.

Python-pygoocanvas is one of the reverse dependencies that blocks the
transition. It has been deprecated upstream, and all software projects using
pygoocanvas are encouraged to port their applications to use the GObject
Introspection library provided in the latest goocanvas package and to move away
from GTK+2 to GTK+3.

Are there any plans upstream to switch to gir1.2-goocanvas-2.0?

Regards,

Ross
