Consider depending on account-plugin-facebook,-flickr,-google

[Jeremy Bícha]

As part of efforts to reduce the Ubuntu GNOME iso size and fix bug 1040193, I demoted Shotwell's recommends on account-plugin-facebook, account-plugin-flickr, and account-plugin-google to suggests.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/0.14.1-0ubuntu3

While the Ubuntu image isn't affected, I see that Ubuntu Studio includes Shotwell but I don't think has any other dependency on Ubuntu Online Accounts.

A side-effect is that Shotwell's Publish dialog is not as useful; I think it's even a bit broken. If you explicitly depend on those packages, then things will be back to normal again. (Although you may want to recommend libqt4-sql-sqlite as a hack from Ubuntu to not have the bulkier libqt4-sql-mysql on your ISO.)

On the other hand, perhaps the size savings of not needing libqtwebkit and the other Qt libraries may motivate you not to add those dependencies.

Thanks for reporting that Jeremy.

I certainly use the facebook & flickr pugins to Shotwell all the time, so I think it is a good idea to seed them in Ubuntu Studio.

I can see the google plugin library is already pulled in by our desktop seed.

And size does not seem to be a problem for us, because the bulkier Qt4 mysql library is already pulled in by some applications still using QT4 (e.g. ffado).

But actually, I see that Shotwell is not seeded at the moment anyway (which is a surprise to me - I must have installed it myself). I will check if the Team wants to add Shotwell to the seeds, and to add account-plugin-facebook, account-plugin-flickr, and account-plugin-google as recommends.

We have discussed this on the Ubuntu Studio Developers list, and Shotwell was actually deliberately dropped from the Ubuntu Studio seed a while back.

It will have to be installed manually by those that need it.

US users missing Shotwell should cry out on the mailing lists, and it may be added back in for future releases (beyond 16.04 Xenial).
