[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#862770: Port from libnm-glib to libnm (or GNetworkMonitor)

[Michael Biebl]

Source: telepathy-mission-control-5
Version: 1:5.16.3-2.1
Severity: normal
User: pkg-utopia-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: libnm

Hi,

the libnm-glib/libnm-util libraries have been deprecated upstream in
favour of libnm.

Your package declares a Build-Depends on libnm-glib-dev.

Please consider porting telepathy-mission-control-5 to libnm. The API of
libnm [1] is very similar to the one provided by libnm-glib/libnm-util.

If you only need to detect the network connectivity status, it might be
preferrable to drop the use of libnm-glib altogether and use
GNetworkMonitor instead, which was introduced in glib 2.32 [2] and is
available since wheezy.

Regards,
Michael
