Comment (by ionic@…):

 Replying to [comment:12 Tom.Schoonjans@…]:
 > 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.

 OK, so we don't need subports for gtk2 and gtk3 for now, then. If, in the
 future, gtkextra-4 is supposed to support both GTK2 and GTK3, the
 situation may change.

 > 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

 Yeah, PHP-GTK (the port) hasn't been updated in years. Not surprised.

 > 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

 It seems like we're not really consistent in naming `gtk{,2,3}-foo` ports
 based on the "correct" toolkit, anyway, so `gtkextra3` may just do it. I
 just tried to clear up that mess you're in for putting `3` into a
 GTK2-based library name.

 Just one more thing. I'd suggest moving the group back to `x11 devel`
 instead of `gnome devel`, because this port has really nothing to do with
 GNOME per se, short of using the same drawing library. From what I've seen
 it's desktop-evironment-agnostic and can be used just as nicely for
 applications "supposed" to be used with `XFCE`. You'll hopefully get the
 idea.
