The latest releases of Debian don't include a pike8.0-gtk package any more. Apparently it's because it depends on old libraries:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=885673
But all of those are optional dependencies. I just tested a fresh Debian 12 installation and was able to build Pike from source fairly easily. As long as libgtk2.0-dev is installed, the majority of the GTK2 module exists, and it's only GTK2.SourceView etc that are missing.
How would we go about getting Pike GTK back into Debian?
