Packages affected: libgalago, galago-daemon, libgalago-gtk, eds-feed, gaim-galago, galago-gtk-sharp, galago-sharp, galago-python, galago-gtk-python
Summary
We want to make sure we have the latest and greatest of the Galago framework in Ubuntu. The current versions in Debian and Ubuntu are quite old and not complete at all. Pushing them out to users will get us working closer with upstream and improve the Desktop Experience.
Rationale
Galago is a desktop presence framework, designed to transmit presence information between programs. It takes information on who is online and their away/idle states from an instant messenger (such as gaim) or other similar programs and lets other programs (such as Evolution) to make use of it.
Use cases
Oliver receives an e-mail from a friend who is in his buddy list. He'll be able to immediately tell their online status.
Scope
The aim of the spec is to integrate Galago into Ubuntu and get it updated regularly. Once all the modules are in place we can get it tested and evaluate its usefullness for main
Design
The implementation of this spec just involves packaging tasks as outlined below.
Implementation
First the DesktopTeam will merge and update the following source packages to the newest upstream version (0.5.0 on Jun 20th):
galago-sharp
libgalago
Then use the following source packages from Debian and update them to the newest version:
galago-daemon
libgalago-gtk
The next step will be to package these modules:
eds-feed,
gaim-galago,
galago-gtk-sharp,
galago-python,
galago-gtk-python
Data preservation and migration
For evaluation purposes and for a probable period of maturing, most of the modules can stay in Universe.
Outstanding issues
None.
BoF agenda and discussion
None.
