[Pkg-ayatana-devel] Bug#895039: ido: deprecated in Debian, switch over to ayatana-ido

[Mike Gabriel]

Package: src:ido
Severity: serious

The IDO shared lib (Indicator Display Objects) is deprecated in Debian  
and shall be phased out during the buster release cycle.

Applications using it (mostly indicator renderers) shall switch over  
to src:ayatana-ido instead. The following renderers of indicators have  
already been ported to ayatana-ido:

   mate-indicator-applet
   xfce4-indicator-plugin

Another renderer has a bug with a patch filed:

   budgie-indicator-applet

So, the current status is: Once that budgie-indicator-applet has been  
ported, src:ido can be removed from Debian.
