"I can't say whether/when GNOME devs will accept this patch upstream, as this bug report (issues/52) was closed" Yes, they did not seem to understand the issue in that report, which is now closed. But https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/62 is still open, so there's at least some hope that they'll fix it.
"Daniel, the reason I asked you to make a separate PPA is that, your PPA says "Random experiments. Use at own risk." Yes, that's more of a "disclaimer" than anything. I only put the cheese package in my PPA for testing (and thank you for testing in several environments). I did not envision a lot of people using it. I probably should separate unrelated packages in different PPA's. Maybe when I have some more caffeine.. :) "I don't know how to submit patches to official packages in Ubuntu/Debian" See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates I think this qualifies as: Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879183 Title: Cheese does not show preferences/options/menus to non-GNOME Users To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/1879183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
