So, if anyone really really really wants to keep it alive, feel free to take it and fix it so it builds and works. ;)
I use gdk-pixbuf in an application that is used on Fedora but for licensing reasons can't currently be submitted as a Fedora package. I'd hate to see gdk-pixbuf go away, as I don't know what I could use to replace it. I've never looked at building gdk-pixbuf myself, and have never been able to wrap my head around autotools, so if the cause of the FTBFS isn't obvious, I doubt that I can fix it quickly. I'm not going to commit to taking maintainership of the package right now, but if nobody else does and I find the time to deal with it, perhaps I will in the future.
As far as I can tell, gdk-pixbuf hasn't been deprecated upstream; there was a new release in August. Has anyone notified upstream about the FTBFS?
Are you sure your not referring to gdk-pixbuf2?
