Hi Jorge,
do you plan to answer this mail?
Sorry I've been lost with other activities.
My point here is that we should stick with fltk2 until there is an official release of fltk1.3.
Yes. I agree. We went with unreleased FLTK2 and it has caused lots of problems (despite statical linking).
If there are license issues with fltk2 they should be handled between debian and the fltk community. Of course we could try to help.
It looks like FLTK2 is quite stalled. Of course we can knock the door again. Maybe this is also a good time to ask for fltk1.3's timeline again. The last time, the optimistic release date was near the middle of 2009.

Hi, is possible to switch to fltk1.3? I sent a lot of emails to fltk developers trying to get the license issue of fltk2 (http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2198+P0+S-2+C0+I0+E0+Qlicense) fixed but I still (after months of sent emails) haven't gotten a reply. dillo is going to be removed from Debian and Ubuntu repositories because it depends on removed packages and the newest dillo release cannot be uploaded because fltk2 is not in the repositories and it cannot be accepted due to the license issue. Is possible to switch to fltk1.3 or to another toolkit please?
Thanks, Devid Antonio Filoni
Hi Devid, We plan to switch to fltk1.3 soon. The point is to have a solid release date to start the port. When we started with fltk2 it was supposed to be released soon... :P I'm writing to the fltk1.3 team. Stay tuned. -- Cheers Jorge.-
