Hello, could you explain more about those inconsistency and missing
files?  Build from git is more expensive than tarballs, as it download
more and need more dependencies, so I think we should avoid it if
possible.  We can switch some packages to git if their tarballs is
lacking functions, also report to upstream to fix them.

This package is still useful for GTK2 applications, we could update its
description and move it into 'gtk.scm' to avoid some confusions.


Thanks for the contributions!
