Agreed! Sometimes I tend to keep sed calls which can automagically fix some API changes and then reuse those in other project which also fails due to deprecated APIs Would be great to keep such regexps on that wiki page directly to make migration to newer API a bit easier and faster. Something like this: http://git.shr-project.org/git/?p=meta-smartphone.git;a=blob;f=meta-shr/recipes-shr/3rdparty/intone/0001-adapt-to-newer-elementary-API.patch;h=4e316d42c1d2db5e761e49dae5e37e7379b31e97;hb=829d659dff310f02db5007c8eafdc1ebf3e26126 Regards, -- Martin 'JaMa' Jansa jabber: martin.ja...@gmail.com
