I originally planned to send the following email to all the projects
listed at the bottom, but it turns out to be more complicated than I
thought, between the larger projects that have maintainer groups, and
individuals without a public email address. I am thus going to add the
projects as being affected by this bug, if not you can change the status
of this bug for your own program.
Subject: About your Nautilus extension being [probably] broken in Ubuntu 11.10
To: All developers of Nautilus scripts written in Python
Body:
Hi all,
I'm sending you this email since you are developing a Nautilus extension in
Python that is available in Ubuntu 11.10 (list of such packages at the end of
this email).
I have created such an extension myself and packaged it for Debian. It is
available there in the "testing" version [0]. The extension installs correctly
in Debian. However, the extension does not show up in Nautilus in Ubuntu 11.10
(beta 2 for now) (exact same version as in Debian).
These are the version of Nautilus-Python/Python-Nautilus that are packaged:
- In Debian: 0.6.1 [1]
- In Ubuntu 11.10: 1.0 [2]
Looking at the release notes, significant changes have been made in
versions 0.7 and 1.0 that change the paths where the extensions are to
be looked in.
I have opened 2 bug reports that are relevant to this issue [3] and [4]. I
suspect the problem is related to 2 things:
- The extensions are not looked for anymore in the familiar
/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/python
- Importing the module `nautilus` is not valid anymore
I have installed various of your extensions, all of which failed to
display in Nautilus. I suspect that a lot (all?) of the Nautilus
extensions written in Python are currently broken in Ubuntu 11.10. Have
you tested your packages in the latest Ubuntu Beta, before your regular
users start opening bug reports? This is the reason for the broad list
of recipients.
I have opened a bug report against Nautilus-Python [5] for us to track
the extent of this issue, and hopefully find a solution for it. Please
mark your project/package as affected by this bug (by using the "Also
affects distribution" link) so that we can keep track of the affected
packages, and share the solution to fix this. Don't forgot to add a
comment to this bug when doing so.
Sorry for the "spam", let's fix this!
Cheers,
+Emilien
