** Description changed:

+ [Impact] Google calendar integration is broken, and users are requested
+ to re-enter their Google password everytime they log in, or everytime
+ they enable/disable their Google account from the System Settings.
+ 
+ [Test Case] Disable/re-enable your Google account. When affected by this
+ bug, a notification will appear and you'll be asked to enter your Google
+ password in the Online Accounts panel in System Settings.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] Minimal: the fix is a backport of a patch from
+ the evolution-data-server code which is already in 14.10, and which only
+ touches the calendar code (which is currently broken).
+ 
+ 
+ Old description
+ ===============
+ 
  [Test Case] Sometimes after one day, sometimes after one week, the
  system indicator will turn red and the Google account will be marked as
  needing reauthentication. Time can vary, but any period shorter than one
  month is a symptom of the bug.
  
  [Regression Potential] Minimal: the change to the Google plugin (in
  account-plugins) simply changes the authentication method, in a way that
  is well-documented. The change in signon-plugin-oauth2 affects only
  those accounts/providers which use the OAuth refresh tokens -- which is
  only Google, at the moment -- and in a way that can't possibly break any
  existing functionality; if the new code had some mistake, the refresh
  token would be unusable and the system would automatically fall back to
  requesting a new access token (which is exactly what happens now, with
  this bug).
  
  I'll try to find why the account-plugins package was not uploaded;
  indeed, both are required in order to fix this bug.
