The Rust bindings for GTK3 (and related libraries) are unmaintained upstream, and are no longer updated in lockstep with bindings for GLib and other related libraries. The packages for gtk3-rs were previously deprecated.
This is the next step - the removal of the packages for gtk3-rs, and the compat packages for old versions of gtk-rs-core (v0.18) and gtk4-rs (v0.7) that are associated with them.
Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended. The Fedora Program Manager will create a tracking bug in Bugzilla for this Change, which is your indication to proceed. See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.
REMINDER: This ticket is for FESCo members to vote on the proposal. Further discussion should happen in the Discourse discussion linked above. Additional discussion may happen on the Fedora Devel mailing list.
+1
Note that depending on how fast dependent applications move to GTK 4 (or not), I might delay this to Fedora 44+. But the current plan is to implement this change before Fedora 43 branches off of rawhide.
This is APPROVED (+6, 0, 0)
