** Summary changed: - gvfs is now built without support for Google Drive + gvfs future of Google Drive support
** Description changed: - Ubuntu 25.10 "Questing"'s gvfs is now built without support for Google - Drive. - - This was provided by libgdata which still uses libsoup2.4. For several - Ubuntu releases, libgdata has been the only thing keeping libsoup2.4 in - main. + gvfs provides Google Drive integration in Nautilus etc. This is powered + by libgdata which still uses libsoup2.4. For several Ubuntu releases, + libgdata has been the only thing keeping libsoup2.4 in main. It is a burden to the Ubuntu Security team to have to keep patching libsoup2. See all the 2025 CVEs at https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/libsoup2.4 libgdata is basically unmaintained by GNOME now. It was suggested that someone who really misses the Google Drive feature could create a gvfs- google-drive library that would port that part of libgdata to libsoup3. The other parts of libgdata may not even work any more.
