Indicator-network depends on unity8 as it's the only notification- service implementation that has all of the required extended menuitems and snap decisions.
For indicator-network to be usable outside unity8, few things have to happen: 1. We need to introduce a virtual package unity-notifications-service 2. unity8 must claim to provide unity-notifications-service 3. indicator-network must depend on this virtual package 4. Pantheon must implement the extended menuitems and snap decisions and have it's notification service of choice to claim to provide unity-notifications-service Unless somebody from the community commits to 4. this will stay in the wishlist category. ** Also affects: unity8 Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: indicator-network Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: indicator-network Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: indicator-network (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: indicator-network Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: unity8 Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: indicator-network (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Summary changed: - Inappropriately depends on unity8 + add unity-notifications-service virtual package ** Summary changed: - add unity-notifications-service virtual package + provide unity-notifications-service virtual package -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to Network Menu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1318533 Title: provide unity-notifications-service virtual package Status in Network Menu: Triaged Status in The Unity 8 shell: New Status in “indicator-network” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: indicator-network 0.5.1+14.04.20140409.1-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 14.04 1. apt-cache show indicator-network | grep Depends What happens: The result includes unity8. What should happen: The result does not include unity8. This prevents indicator-network from being used in Elementary Pantheon, for example.
