Spec URL: http://kalev.fedorapeople.org/glade.spec
SRPM URL: http://kalev.fedorapeople.org/glade-3.11.0-1.fc17.src.rpm
Description:
Glade is a RAD tool to enable quick and easy development of user interfaces for
the GTK+ toolkit and the GNOME desktop environment.

The user interfaces designed in Glade are saved as XML, which can be used in
numerous programming languages including C, C++, C#, Vala, Java, Perl, Python,
and others.

-----------------------------------------

This is the GTK+ 3 version of Glade.

During the gtk3 development cycle, upstream renamed 'glade3' to 'glade', to
make the gtk2 and gtk3 versions parallel installable. 'glade3' is the gtk2
version and 'glade' is the gtk3 version. Confusingly enough,
 in Fedora we have the gtk3 version in 'glade3' package and don't have the gtk2
version packaged up at all.

This package is the first step in getting back in line with upstream naming.

Upstream blog post about the rename:
http://blogs.gnome.org/tvb/2011/01/15/the-glade-dl/

Various tickets opened in Fedora bugzilla about providing both glade and
glade3:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708834
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717763
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=731227

P.S. I'm not yet sure how it's best to name the gtk2 compat package: should it
be 'glade3' like upstream is calling it, or should it be 'glade-gtk2' for
clarity? The latter would likely also involve renaming /us
r/bin/glade-3 to /usr/bin/glade-gtk2 as a downstream distro modification, so
I'm not sure we'd want to take that route.
