GtkSheet builds from source in the current released version if a patch
is applied from their current git tree. This will be documented in my package.

n_bytes is a private part of GtkEntry and gtksheet never had any right
to expect to be able to access it.

I don't have a login for github.com, please forward this issue upstream
BEFORE packaging the library.

Will do.

The fork retains the same bug as the original and will therefore FTBFS.

See #549758

n_bytes is a private part of GtkEntry and gtksheet never had any right
to expect to be able to access it.

I don't have a login for github.com, please forward this issue upstream
BEFORE packaging the library.

Mind you, it's positive news that someone is working on GtkSheet.

CC'ing the libgtkada2 maintainer because the pending removal of
GtkSheet affects his package and he may be interested in a new upstream
fork.

Hi, 

I'm the author of the gtksheet library. That code is not compiled for GTK+ versions
higher than 2.18. It's only there for compatibility with older versions of GTK which 
don't have the new GtkEntryBuffer API that it's used to replace the code using those

private variables. You can remove that old code and leave only the code for 2.18.

I'll try to make a new release next weekend with all these changes and fixes.

Thank you very much for packaging gtksheet.


Cheers,

Víctor
