FFe: Sync gnome-online-accounts 3.4.2-1 (main) from Debian unstable & enable Facebook

[Jeremy Bícha]

Please sync gnome-online-accounts 3.4.2-1 (main) from Debian unstable and enable Facebook support

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
  * New upstream release:
    [ 3.3.92 ]
    - build: Add --disable-documentation flag
    - OAuth2Provider: add support for facebook client side auth flow
    - FacebookProvider: move to client-side flow
    - configure.ac: remove the facebook client secret
    - facebook: Unref the JSON parser
    - facebook: offline_access has been removed since it is deprecated
    - Fix typo in windows-live backend
    [ 3.4.0 ]
    - Translation changes

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
Facebook support would be nice, and Debian & Fedora at least already enable it. There's some concern over what happens if Facebook changes the authentication methods 3 times in the next 5 years though. We already support Google & Windows Live, but the Facebook support was enabled late in GNOME 3.4's release cycle. For more discussion:

It's a universe leaf package, not installed by default in any derivative, and in line with the rest of GNOME 3.4.1. I don't see much issues enabling it now, if the facebook support causes troubles we can always SRU it to disable it again. Have you tested building, installing, and runnig this version on current precise?

Argh, indeed, sorry. Got confused by the empty "sets" on the queue page. Then this should become an SRU at this point, where it's easier to revert or update.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Adding a new Facebook account works (The only supported feature currently is Chat). And Facebook Chat works in empathy.

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

This missed precise, unsubscribing the release team.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Closing since this doesn't seem like it's too late for Precise.

Second try:

Closing since this seems too late for Precise.
