Comment (by Tom.Schoonjans@…):

 Thanks for looking into this

 Couple of comments:

 1) yes there is indeed no support for Gtk3 currently, but that is being
 worked on. When this is done, the new version will probably be called
 gtkextra-4. We plan on maintaining both gtkextra-3 and gtkextra-4 branches
 in the future, at least as long as Gtk2 is officially supported.

 2) I agree that the best solution would be to just drop gtk2-extras and
 replace it by gtkextra (with or without the -3 suffix, which would be
 relevant as soon as gtkextra-4 is released)

 3) I will check if php-gtk and gpsim would build against gtkextra-3 and
 will try to produce patches if necessary. Php-gtk appears to be dead by
 the way

 4) I am not a big fan of gtk2-extra3 name: I understand the rationale
 behind it but I think it just differs too much from the official name. I
 would like to suggest gtkextra or gtkextra3

 Best,

 Tom
