[Bug 1041303] Re: Feature freeze exception request: Plz update Onboard to 0.98.0 targeted at quantal

Sat Aug 25 15:49:13 UTC 2012

** Description changed:

- Details coming in short...
+ Could you please update the version shipping with Ubuntu quantal to
+ Onboard version 0.98.0 that was released on the 23rd August and that
+ especially targets Ubuntu quantal?
+ 
+ Rational for the freeze exception: Onboard version 0.98.0 uses python3
+ instead of python2, it now uses a standard gsettings path, it includes
+ changes to better work with Unity and the Unity-greeter...
+ 
+ Here are the main changes as described in the debian/changelog file:
+ 
+ onboard (0.98.0-0ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

+ 
+ For more details, please have a look at the commits in trunk between
+ revisions 753 and 940.
+ 
+ Regression potential: marmuta, the main coder of Onboard these last
+ years does regression testing for all releases manually by checklist in
+ the desktop environments that matters most for Ubuntu, particularly
+ Unity and GNOME Shell... We also have the intention to remain available
+ to provide fixes in case of problem.
+ 
+ Moreover, in the case of problems, it should not affect other fonctionalities as: 
+ $ apt-cache rdepends onboard
+ onboard
+ Reverse Depends:
+   onboard:i386
+   xubuntu-desktop
+   ubuntu-desktop
+ 
+ 
+ Requirements: Onboard 0.98.0 needs virtkey 0.61.0, as it uses now python3. Thus, python3-virtkey that gets produced by the same source package as python-virtkey has to be accepted from universe in main, as Onboard 0.98.0 requires it and as Onboard is the default onscreen keyboard of Ubuntu. (python-virtkey is in main for several years already)
