Subject: gnome-mag: needs porting to new libpanel-applet interface

Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:33:18 +0200

Package: gnome-mag
Version: 1:0.16.1-2
Severity: important
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: applets-transition

Hi,

this package currently depends on python-gnomeapplet - most likely 
because it provides an applet for the GNOME panel.

The introduction of gnome-panel 3.0 to unstable is imminent. In this 
version, the panel-applet library has undergone large changes, and 
gnome-mag requires changes to support this version:
 * updating to the D-Bus activation mechanism
 * porting to GTK+ 3
 * porting from PyGTK to the GObject Introspection mechanism

You might want to check if upstream developers provide a new version, 
compatible with gnome-panel 3.x. Otherwise, porting is a feasible task 
if you have a few hours to spare. If you feel like it, the following 
guides should help you:
 * http://live.gnome.org/PyGObject/IntrospectionPorting
 * http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-migrating-2-to-3.html
 * http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/AppletsDbusMigration

For packages that provide other functionality than the GNOME applet, 
you can simply disable it in the build and remove the dependency if 
it hasn’t been ported. 

For pure applets packages, you should ask for removal from the 
archive if you do not intend to port it to the new interface. Such 
packages that have not been ported when gnome-panel is ready to 
migrate will be kicked out of testing.

Cheers,
