Title:
FFe: Sync gnome-user-share 3.18.3-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main)
Status in gnome-user-share package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Please sync gnome-user-share 3.18.3-2 (main) from Debian unstable
(main)
The version of gnome-user-share currently in Ubuntu has 2 features:
Bluetooth and WebDav.
Ubuntu has installed gnome-user-share by default for many years so
that sending and receiving files over Bluetooth works. That feature is
now rovided by gnome-bluetooth and gnome-control-center. Therefore,
the new version of gnome-user-share dropped the Bluetooth feature.
Ubuntu has delayed packaging a newer version of gnome-user-share because it
was using unity-control-center which did not support the new Bluetooth
feature.
Ubuntu has one long-standing diff from Debian. Ubuntu's gnome-user-share
package does not actually include the apache dependencies needed for the
WebDav feature to work (LP: #536766). Since that's now the only feature in
gnome-user-share, dropping this diff makes sense.
$ reverse-depends gnome-user-share
Reverse-Recommends
==================
* cinnamon-desktop-environment
* gnome-control-center
Reverse-Depends
===============
* gnome-core [amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el]
* ubuntu-budgie-desktop [amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el]
* ubuntu-gnome-desktop [amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el]
Step 1
------
Ubuntu and Ubuntu Budgie both use gnome-control-center so gnome-user-share is
unused for Bluetooth.
a. Drop the dependency on gnome-user-share from at least
gnome-control-center
ubuntu-budgie-desktop
But we might need to drop the dependency everywhere until after 18.04
LTS for 1.c. to work.
b. Demote gnome-user-share to universe.
c. Have ubuntu-release-upgrader remove gnome-user-share on upgrades.
Step 2
------
Sync gnome-user-share from Debian.
I believe we want to do Step 1 for Ubuntu 17.10 "artful".
The complication for Step 2 is that upgraders will get Apache
installed unless they upgrade using update-manager/do-release-upgrade
Therefore, I recommend delaying Step 2 until 18.04 development opens.
Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
* Add git_add_systemd_service.patch:
- Backport commit from 3.22 to add systemd user service file for
compatibility with gnome-settings-daemon 3.22
* debian/control.in:
- Build-Depend on systemd
* d/p/0004-revert-remove-help.patch: Bring back the help files
for users of gnome-file-share-properties (LP: #1570230)
* debian/patches: 0001-revert-remove-preferences-application.patch
Fix launching of Prefences from nautilus share bar under unity and
patch infobar color (LP: #1562515)
* maintscript: remove old xdg autostart file (lp: #1526894)
* New Upstream release (LP: #1518813)
* Merge with Debian, Remaining changes:
- Suggests the apache2.2-bin and libapache2-mod-dnssd binaries rather than
depends on those, we want obex push to work out of the box but we don't
really need webdav and the apache binaries on the default installation.
- debian/patches:
+ 0001-revert-remove-preferences-application.patch
0002-revert-data-get-started-by-gsd-sharing.patch
0003-revert-webdav-fix-launching-server.patch:
Bring back the preferences app for Unity and modify to allow g-s-d
sharing
panel to also work
+ 01_notification.patch: Display an alert box instead of a notification
for files received.
- debian/rules:
+ Don't change path to httpd
+ Remove apache 2.2 config
