GNOME 3 and panel applets
[Bcc: all maintainers of GNOME applets] Hi, as it was already mentioned for other reasons, GNOME 3 is just around the corner, and there are some big changes ahead. DO NOT PANIC: the current desktop with gnome-panel and metacity will remain as an alternative. Anyone wanting to troll about how gnome-shell sucks is invited to do so elsewhere, since the topic here is gnome-panel. The panel remains, but it will be a GTK3 / D-Bus panel. In its current state, it doesn’t support the good old GTK2 / bonobo applets, of which we have a lot in the archive. Upstream confirmed they don’t have time to support them for 3.0 unless someone steps up to do the job. If you develop, maintain or use one of those packages, and you don’t want it to disappear, your options are now: 1. Prepare to disable gnome-panel support (that’s for packages which already have other options, such as using the notification area). 2. If meaningful (it depends on the applet), switch to another technology such as libappindicator or the notification area. 3. Port your applet to GTK3 and the new D-Bus API. The bindings for Python and C# will probably not work either, so you might have to start with them. 4. Step up and do the work to add support for bonobo applets in the panel. Option 4 is the only way to keep all applets with low maintenance in Debian. It should be possible by developing a gateway D-Bus service that loads a bonobo applet in a process separate from the panel and proxies signals through it. If you are interested, please get in touch with upstream. If no one is interested, a large portion of the following list is going to leave the archive.

Bug#516306: ldaptor: generates incorrect package with python-support from experimental
Package: ldaptor Version: 0.0.43-2 Hi, the ldaptor rules file contains the following: binary-post-install/python-ldaptor:: rm -rf \ debian/python-ldaptor/usr/share/python-support/*/ldaptor/apps/webui \ debian/python-ldaptor/usr/share/python-support/*/ldaptor/test/test_webui.py With the upcoming version of python-support (currently in experimental), this operation does nothing, since the files are now moved to a different directory (/usr/share/pyshared). It does not prevent the package from building, but the resulting package has the webui modules in it. Therefore, installation of ldaptor-webui will fail because of a file conflict. In all cases, you should remove these files *before* calling dh_pysupport, to avoid any manipulation it might do with them. Doing the removal in the binary-install target and using the standard Python directory there should be enough. As a general rule, please do not rely on the internals of python-support in the packaging; this will avoid such issues in the future (although hopefully there won’t be a need to change the paths any further). Thanks, -- .''`.

I was convinced this case was already handled, apparently it is not, and (more surprising) this is the first package to stumble on it. It is a new bug in python-support 1.x.

Bug#340513: package still ships gconf schemas in /etc
Package: memprof
Severity: important
There have been several changes in the way GConf works in Debian. The
most important one is the move of all files that have nothing to do
in /etc to follow the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
All of this is handled by the dh_gconf debhelper script. In order to
make use of it, your package should do the following:
* build-depend on debhelper (>= 4.2.13),
* depend on ${misc:Depends},
* invoke dh_gconf somewhere between dh_install and dh_installdeb. For
packages using cdbs, this is achieved by including gnome.mk.
Don't hesitate to ask me for details.
