           Summary: Upgrade to Glib 2.16
           Product: System software
           Version: 4.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: glib
        AssignedTo: tapani.palli at nokia.com
        ReportedBy: g+770 at cobb.uk.net
         QAContact: glib-bugs at maemo.org


Please upgrade to using the latest Glib in the next OS release.  Chinook uses
Glib 2.12 which is making it very difficult to port some applications.  At a
minimum, 2.14 is needed but 2.16 would be better.  

If a goal is to build a large base of community-developed and ported
applications then continuously keeping up to date with Glib is important.  Note
that Opensync is an example of a project which cannot be built using the
Chinook SDK because of Glib issues.

An alternative would be for Nokia to build their own applications using a copy
of Glib (fixed at some version) with a different name and allow the community
to upgrade the real Glib as required (from the Extras repository).
