** Description changed:
Ubuntu/Unity uses GNOME Control Center as the application to configure
the Unity session. We've made a lot of changes appropriate for Ubuntu
and Unity (61 patches) which makes it hard to maintain and creates a
conflict for Ubuntu GNOME to use the control center. Unity 7 will be
replaced by Unity 8 in the future which has a new settings interface.
So we can continue to remain on the current version of GNOME Control
Center but allow Ubuntu GNOME to continue to update we will create a new
project lp:unity-control-center which is a copy of GNOME Control Center
3.6 but with appropriate renaming so both can be installed.
A number of packages that refer to gnome-control-center need to be
updated to refer to unity-control-center (see bug tasks).
A PPA for testing is https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive
- /unity-control-center/+packages.
+ /unity-control-center
