Public bug reported:
Ubuntu GNOME would like to not have Ubuntu Online Accounts installed by
default as it depends on quite a few Qt libraries and the presence of
two Online Accounts panels in System Settings confuses users.
I looked into splitting Shotwell's UOA support into a separate package,
but 06_uoa.patch has extended Shotwell's publishing plugin instead of
writing a separate one.
This means that shotwell-publishing.so depends on libsignon-glib1 which
depends on signond and basically the rest of the UOA infrastructure.
I tried moving the complete publishing plugin (including upstream and
Ubuntu services) into a separate package. However users who don't have
this package installed will have a broken Publish menu item.
Ideally, users should be able to benefit from publishing to online
services without needing to have Ubuntu Online Accounts infrastructure
installed (as released by Shotwell developers).
Bzr branch attached with my packaging attempts.
