Bug#1110180: gummi: please migrate from deprecated gtksourceview3 to gt

From Simon McVittie@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jul 31 12:30:01 2025

Package: gummi
Version: 0.8.3+really0.8.3-5

gtksourceview3 was superseded in 2018 by gtksourceview4 (a new major
upstream release, but still using GTK 3). There's a porting guide here,
which is mostly "stop using deprecated APIs" plus a few function renames: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/gtksourceview/gtksourceview5/porting-guide-3-to-4.html

gtksourceview3 is unmaintained and hasn't had an upstream release for
several years, so it would be great if the remaining gtksourceview3 applications can move to gtksourceview4 or gtksourceview5 before forky.

gtksourceview4 has itself been superseded by gtksourceview5, which is
for GTK 4 applications. Ideally GTK 3 applications should move to GTK 4,
but that's a larger and more intrusive change. Porting guide: https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/migrating-3to4.html, https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/gtksourceview/gtksourceview5/porting-guide-4-to-5.html

Thanks,
