Status Report for Packaging elementary Software, Week 4 This week was relatively uneventful since I've finally ran out of things I could package without external or upstream blockers. I have fixed the remaining issues with Maya package from last week and it is now in the NEW queue.
Other than that, I have looked into packaging the elementary music player, codenamed "Noise", but it fails to build on Debian. The issue looks like a bug either in the Noise build system or in Debian's libsqlheavy-dev package, I'm investigating it with upstream Noise developers now ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/noise/+bug/1330113). This concludes the list of elementary software with stable releases in the current ("Isis") series for now. While I'm waiting for more stuff to be released as stable I've investigated packaging libunity, which provides the Launcher API that superseded DockManager API and is thus required by some elementary applications to interact with the dock. Ubuntu provides packaging for it that can be reused pretty much as is; however, the latest release used in Ubuntu (7.x series) depends on libdee version from December 2013 which is still not available in Debian. I've emailed "dee" source package maintainer for more info on the situation but I'm yet to receive a reply. I intend to wrap up all of this next week. I'm traveling Jun 18-24 and I'm not sure I'll have Internet access at all times, so the next weekly report might be a little belated. This should not affect my packaging work though.
