* Package name : appmenu-gtk-module Version : 0.5.5 Upstream Author : Konstantin (https://github.com/rilian-la-te) * URL : https://github.com/rilian-la-te/vala-panel-appmenu/tree/master/unity-gtk-module * License : LGPL-3 Programming Lang: C Description : GtkMenuShell to GMenuModel parser GTK+ module for exporting old-style menus as GMenuModels. . Many applications implement menus as GtkMenuShells and GtkMenuItems and aren't looking to migrate to the newer GMenuModel API. . The AppMenu GTK+ module watches for these types of menus and exports the appropriate GMenuModel implementation. . The (new) upstream author has started continuing and improving the unity-gtk-module as found in Ubuntu needed for the Unity Desktop Environment. . Recommendation will be send to the community team continuing support for Unity 7 to switch over to this AppMenu module rather than continuing unity-gtk-module. (Share workload, reducing list of to-be-maintained packages). . In Debian, this package will be needed to have vala-panel with vala-panel-appmenu packaged. . The packaging will be done by joint team efforts (Ayatana Packagers, MATE Packaging Team).
