[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1040259] Re: FFE: libmessaging-menu transitions for quantal

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio]

@alanbell - Yup. Unfortunately, gm-notify is still using pygtk and the
new library is only availiable through gobject introspection. So it
seems that the entire project will need to be port to gi. It's not
particularly big or complex, but upstream isn't active. I might try and
port it myself if I find the time, but the changes will be too intrusive
to be an SRU. It will have to come through backports.

I know Canonical doesn't have the resources to port everything in
Universe that uses its APIs, but in the future it would be nice to at
least file bugs for the rdepends before landing the change. Especially
when the change lands so close (after?) feature freeze.

Bug description:
  indicator-messages got updated, introducing a new libmessaging-menu
  api (deprecating the old libindicate library) which should make
  application developper's life easier.

  The indicator work is done and the library is ready and we started
  porting applications

  The current stack is being tested in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
  desktop/+archive/ppa/

  It includes
  - indicator-messages
  - gwibber
  - indicator-telepathy
  - thunderbird (soon, work is being finished)

  which is what we consider the minimal set for landing the feature

  for quantal we will add those soon:
  - pidgin
  - xchat-indicator
  - evolution-indicator
