Package: cherrytree Version: 0.37.6-1 Severity: serious User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: oldlibs Tags: patch pending sid buster X-Debbugs-CC: vch...@debian.org
As part of a large ongoing effort to reduce the number of packages depending on deprecated and unmaintained GNOME2 era stuff, I'd like to remove the python-appindicator binary package. cherrytree is the only package in Debian depending on python-appindicator. Therefore, I'm filing this bug as serious. (One python-appindicator reverse-depends and one reverse-recommends is proposed for removal from Debian. The other reverse-recommends, gpodder, will be fixed when the next version of gpodder is packaged in Debian since gpodder has switched to gtk3). cherrytree runs fine without python-appindicator. If it were installed, it allows the app to be minimized to the appindicator area instead of quit when the app is closed. (That option can be enabled in Edit > Preferences > Miscellaneous > Enable System Tray Docking and > Use Appindicator for Docking.) cherrytree will eventually be ported to gtk3 and will then be able to use the gtk3 appindicator support. See the upstream bug attached to https://bugs.debian.org/822586 . I am uploading a NMU to fix this issue to DELAYED/10. Please let me know if I should upload sooner or slower than that. I will attach the minimal debdiff in my follow-up email. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
