[Python-apps-team] Bug#644979: Please transition to nautilus 3 and GObject introspection

[Michael Biebl]

Source: phatch
Version: 0.2.7.1-1
Severity: important
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org

Hi,

this package currently (build-)depends on python-nautilus - most likely
because it provides an extension for the nautilus file manager.

The introduction of nautilus 3 to unstable is imminent. In this version, 
the extensions interface has changed, and phatch
requires changes to support this version:
 * porting to GTK+ 3
 * porting from PyGTK to the GObject Introspection mechanism

You might want to check if upstream developers provide a new version, 
compatible with nautilus 3.x. Otherwise, porting is a feasible task if 
you have a few hours to spare. If you feel like it, the following guides 
should help you:
 * http://live.gnome.org/PyGObject/IntrospectionPorting
 * http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-migrating-2-to-3.html

nautilus 3 packages are available from experimental. Please update and 
test your package against this version and ideally upload it to 
experimental, too.

Packages that remain unported will have to be removed from testing 
eventually.

Cheers,
Michael
