** Changed in: mir (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => In Progress
** Description changed:
[Impact]
Snap development using Mir has been using the "stable phone overlay" PPA
which is both inconvenient and a legacy of the cancelled Unity8 project.
It would greatly simplify things if Mir were updated in the Xenial
archive.
[Test Case]
Build a Mir client snap (e.g. lp:~albaguirre/+snap/mir-client-demos)
against "Primary Ubuntu Archive" and deploy as described in
https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/guides/mir-snaps/
Expected: the client apps start and are visible on screen
Actual: the client don't apps start and are not visible on screen
[Regression Potential]
Mir has two categories of dependent project:
1 packages related to Unity8 (and unity-system-compositor)
2 toolkits and other "clients" of Mir
We should remove the first category to avoid regressions as it is not
helpful to carry these in the LTS.
The second category is dependent only on libmirclient which is ABI
stable.
The principle type of regression would be FTBFS where APIs have been
- deprecated.
+ deprecated. I've proposed a 0.26.3 release where these deprecations are
+ disabled for 16.04.
notes:
A recursive search or rdependencies identifies the following packages in
category 1:
camera-app-autopilot
gallery-app-autopilot
indicator-network-autopilot
indicators-client
qtdeclarative5-qtmir-plugin
qtmir-android
qtmir-desktop
qtmir-tests
ubuntu-desktop-mir
ubuntu-experience-tests
ubuntu-pocket-desktop
ubuntu-push-autopilot
ubuntu-touch
ubuntu-touch-session
unity8

unity8-desktop-session-mir
unity-scope-click-autopilot
unity-system-compositor
unity-system-compositor-autopilot
