** Description changed: Sponsorship request in preparation + + On behalf of Ubuntu Budgie please could you please consider sponsoring + this package for Noble. + + I will separately pursue upload through Debian - but given the tight + release timescales I would hope Ubuntu would consider this - I will look + after this package under the Ubuntu Budgie packageset rights (to be + requested via the DMB) for the LTS series + + This application is key for the GTK3 desktops for Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu + Cinnamon, Ubuntu Unity and potentially for Ubuntu MATE and xubuntu. + + I have a build in our PPA - built against noble-proposed for all + architectures + + https://launchpad.net/~ubuntubudgie-dev/+archive/ubuntu/gnome-online- + accounts/+packages + Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: David Mohammed (hidden) Package name : gnome-online-accounts-gtk Version : 3.50.1 Upstream Author : Linux Mint <r...@linuxmint.com> URL : https://github.com/linuxmint/gnome-online-accounts-gtk License : GPL 3+ Programming Lang: C Description : GUI Utility for logging into online accounts Enter login details for some online services such as Google and Facebook. This enables applications to access online services like email, calendars, chat and documents. . This is a standalone application for desktop environments where GNOME Online Accounts capability is not integrated in their equivalent settings utility. + + Details: + Upstream blog post https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4660 + + "GNOME Online Accounts, aka “GOA”, is a project which allows users to + connect to their data in the cloud. This project was only designed for + GNOME though so it doesn’t provide any front-end. It only provides + libraries (namely libgoa and libgoa-backend). + + Other than GNOME, many desktop environments integrated a front-end to + these libraries in their control center: Cinnamon, Budgie, Unity, etc. + + This project is important because it doesn’t just connect a desktop to + the cloud, it’s used by many applications and libraries. Among other + things you might use it to connect the Calendar application, the + Thunderbird email program or the file browser to your online data. + + With GNOME 46, libgoa/libgoa-backend 3.50 moved to GTK4. It can no + longer be used by GTK3 applications. + + To solve this problem a new XApp called GNOME Online Account GTK was + created. As any XApp its goal is to work for everybody, in any desktop + environment and in any Linux distribution. + + This app makes it possible for Cinnamon/Budgie/Unity users to continue + to use this functionality. It also provides it to any desktop that + didn’t have access to it before (for instance: MATE and Xfce editions in + Linux Mint)."
