dependency libglade2-0 will be removed from Debian: deprecated and unmaintained upstream

[and1bm]

Hi,
same as for tiemu: Unfortunately libglade2-0 will be removed from Debian, c.f. Debian Bug 895517 . Can we migrate away from libglade to keep gfm alive in Debian?
Best regards, Andi

Hi. Since GFM is a small application, I'd say that the right course of action is to rewrite the GUI entirely using another technology, presumably Qt GUI, which would, besides creating an official Qt-based libti* client, indirectly lay the groundwork for targeting WebAssembly with libti*.
Also, some pieces of GFM might be movable to libtifiles or libtiopers, helping the latter ( debrouxl/tilibs#42 ) reach critical mass.

Rewriting the TILP UI, or worse, the TIEmu UI, would be much more of a chore, though...

TILP has already been deprecated on Nixpkgs for the same reason. libti* is still present, but not TILP or GFM due to GFM requiring libglade2.

@myclevorname thank you for letting me know that it was present and then removed from nixpkgs, I was trying to package it on my own!
