Description Ross Burton 2018-04-11 13:37:23 UTC 
GTK+ 2 is very dead.  There are a few references in oe-core which are stopping it being moved to meta-oe:

packagegroup-core-lsb
Not a good reason, just needs to be documented that gtk+ is in meta-oe.

alsa-tools
Some tools are still using GTK+2.  To be honest a lot of the tools are useless/niche anyway, so this can be reviewed.

gnome-themes-standard
The theme for GTK+2.

kernelshark
This actually uses GTK+2.  Can we drop? Can we port?

fstests
packagegroup-core-tools-testapps
Ancient benchmarks which have little meaning these days, remove.
Comment 1 Ross Burton 2018-06-11 20:58:28 UTC 
Bruce is happy with kernelshark being removed, and I've sent a patch to make it easy to turn off gtk+2 bits in alsa-tools.

Removed in oe-core 3c692e0d77e68908ab0ec421356bd4738c5327db.
