Isn't it a bad idea to remove a major feature from the user interface after feature freeze?
I bet you would be getting a lot more bugs reports but many people can't figure out what happened. Or they setup there shares before the last update and they haven't needed this tool yet. It took me quite a while to figure out "What happened to that menu entry that used to let me share files?" I had to use another computer that was still running gutsy to figure out what the menu item was and track down which package it used to belong to. I checked out the package description for natilus-share. It has no reverse depends. Most people won't be getting it. You haven't answered Habbit's point about nfs. Is there a GUI for doing nfs? Is it installed by default? Your attitude about xubuntu is really strange. I know Canonical does not fully support Xubuntu. But, it is not nice to break them. Have you let the xubuntu/mythbuntu folks know you are breaking them after feature freeze? Will exceptions be allowed to feature freeze so xubuntu/mythbuntu can get some GUI working for their distributions? (And Canonical does encourage Xubuntu use. The Xubuntu download link is on ubuntu.com front page.) Getting rid of shares-admin is probably the right thing to do in the long run. But the way this is being done seems wrong. You need a transition plan that gets the new tool into place by default and keeps the old tool (possibly in Universe?) working for a while. And removing features after feature freeze is bound to cause trouble. -- missing shares-admin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208480 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
