Bug#862766: Port from libnm-glib to libnm (or GNetworkMonitor)

[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#862766: Port from libnm-glib to libnm (or GNetworkMonitor)

Source: libsocialweb
Version: 0.25.20-6
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 libnm-glib-dev.

Please consider porting libsocialweb to libnm. The API of libnm [1] is
very similar to the one provided by libnm-glib/libnm-util.

If you only need to detect the network connectivity status, it might be
preferrable to drop the use of libnm-glib altogether and use
GNetworkMonitor instead, which was introduced in glib 2.32 [2] and is
available since wheezy.

Regards,
Michael
