Comment:
Dependencies for libgda5 were updated in r111791 including the use of
gtksourceview3, goocanvas2.
Turning off yelp and gnome-settings-daemon breaks functionality in the
port.
Yelp is required for the Help menu to work and gnome-settings-daemon is
necessary to allow theming to work properly among other things.
A better approach would be figuring out how to fix these deficiencies in a
quartz build. Nonetheless, you can remove these
dependencies in a +quartz variant for your own purposes if you like.
The problem is that full session support for GNOME really depends on X11
at this point in time. The best you can do
for +quartz for now is to port individual GNOME apps without session
support. Depending on the app (and the interests of
the upstream developers) this approach, as you have seen, may or may not
be successful without significant upstream changes.
Non X11 upstream development is more focused on Wayland right now.
My main focus at this point is to keep up with the rapidly changing
upstream GNOME releases with +quartz as a background activity
so any input you can give on how to make individual apps work with +quartz
without breaking the full X11 capability is welcome and
probably should be directed more at the upstream developers so that they
can see there is a demand for it.
Thanks for your interest in this area.
