Status Report for Packaging elementary Software, Week 9 Due to the (ongoing) absence of upstream stable releases I'm continuing to make preliminary packaging based on bzr snapshots.
I have created preliminary packaging for Gala, the window manager, which can be found at: https://code.launchpad.net/~pantheon-debian/pantheon-debian/gala Unfortunately I cannot finalize it yet because upstream expects an ABI break prior to release and perhaps exposing the private shared library as public afterwards. It also build-depends on libplank-dev package provided by plank source package that I've uploaded earlier and that's yet to pass the NEW queue, so getting Gala into the repos may take a while. I have also created preliminary packaging for Pantheon Files, the file manager. An upstream release is imminent, but I'm negotiating some last-minute changes to the plugin API and an update of CMake modules used upstream. It also depends on a package that I've uploaded earlier and that has not yet left the NEW queue - libunity. Speaking of libunity, turns out that the latest stable release uses a deprecated series of libgee, 1.0, while all elementary applications use the newer (sic!) 0.8 series. The two cannot be combined in one binary without major hacks, so I have prepared a Debian-level patch to convert it to gee 0.8. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=755054 for more information. As for the elementary icon theme mentioned in the previous report, I got involved upstream, as per usual for tricky projects. I took a long, hard look at it and identified a number of issues, namely: https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/1343208 https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/1343213 https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/1343223 https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/1343240 https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/1343246 https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/1343252 https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/1343287 https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/1343680 https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/1345103 https://bugs.launchpad.net/elementaryicons/+bug/500408 I have proceeded to fix 5 of these issues, contributing an entirely new icon in 6 sizes in 3 cases. See individual bug reports and linked merge requests for more info. Regards, -- Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff
