* lp:~mvo/software-center/workaround-gtk-regression-lp986186:
- workaround performance issue with the Gtk.TreeView.set_model()
call when there is a cell_data_func attached. Not every user is
affected (settings dependant somehow), but when affected it causes
a massive performance degration for huge list models like "System"
(LP: #986186). This branch works around the problem by disconnecting
the cell_data_func before setting the new model.
* lp:~mvo/software-center/fix-clear-credentials-race:
- fix an incorrect use of the sso dbus backend, we now correctly
wait until it emits a CredentialsCleared signal (LP: #986117)

* lp:~gary-lasker/software-center/recommendations-sso-login-lp973612:
- fix bug where the recommendations opt-in panel is hidden if
the user declines the SSO dialog after opting in (LP: #973612)
- fix the user experience if the user has previously opted-in to
recommendations and their SSO token is found have been removed
or revoked or otherwise found to be invalid (LP: #967064)
- improve the responsiveness of the spinner in the recommendations

Title:
Software-center causes update-apt-xapian-index to fail on downstream
distros
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “software-center” source package in Precise:
Fix Released
Status in “software-center” source package in Quantal:
Fix Released
Bug description:
When software-center is installed on an Ubuntu derivative (in our
case, Nexradix), update-apt-xapian-index fails.
When run, a python error indicating that "no module Nexradix is found"
When I replace lines 112-114 in /usr/share/software-
center/softwarecenter/distro/__init__.py with:
distro_id = "Ubuntu"
update-apt-xapian-index works without incident.
Based on the prior code, it appears that the current distro name is
being parsed from /etc/lsb-release, and if it doesn't find a matching
distro in the "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro"
directory, it fails.
I assume that adding the distro in question to that directory using
Ubuntu.py as a template would likely solve this, however it remains a
bug: update-apt-xapian-index should not rely on software-center's
distro-specific code, or at the very least, fail more gracefully with
an error message or link to documentation as to what the fix is.
