Bug#862778: Port from libnm-glib to libnm (or GNetworkMonitor)

2018-04-13 Thread Michael Biebl 
Control: severity -1 serious

Hi,

I intend to upload a new version of network-manager soonish which will
drop libnm-glib/libnm-util. I'm thus bumping this issue to RC in
preparation for that.

Regards,
Michael

Bug#862778: Port from libnm-glib to libnm (or GNetworkMonitor)

2017-12-20 Thread Lubomir Rintel 
Hi,

I would suggest just dropping the dependency. The fallback that's in
place is okay and a newer upstream version of ypbind-mt just drops the
use of NetworkManager altogether.

Bug#862778: Port from libnm-glib to libnm (or GNetworkMonitor)

2017-05-16 Thread Michael Biebl 
Source: nis
Version: 3.17.1-1
Severity: normal
User: pkg-utopia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: libnm

Hi,

the libnm-glib/libnm-util libraries have been deprecated upstream in
favour of libnm.

Your package declares a Build-Depends on network-manager-dev.
It seems, nis uses NetworkManager for checking the connectivity status.
It uses the D-Bus API for that.

ypbind-mt-1.38/configure.ac checks for NetworkManager/NetworkManager.h
and NetworkManager/NetworkManagerVPN.h, but it has fallback code in
ypbind-mt-1.38/src/ypbind_dbus_nm.c in case those headers are not
available.

Please consider switching to libnm, which provides a similar API as
libnm-glib/libnm-util [1] and update the configure check and header
includes accordingly.

Alternatively, and maybe an even better approach would be, to use
GNetworkMonitor instead, which was introduced in glib 2.32 [2] and is
available since wheezy.

Regards,
Michael
