[MIR] gnome-control-center

[Jeremy Bícha]

This is a short MIR since gnome-control-center was in Ubuntu since the beginning (therefore there was no MIR before) until it was replaced by unity-control-center, a fork of version 3.6. The intent now is to replace unity-control-center with gnome-control-center in main.

At least for now, I expect unity-control-center to remain in universe for the benefit of those who want to try to keep Unity going.

This package depends on the MIRs for colord-gtk (LP: #1685411) and gnome-settings-daemon (LP: #1685414)

Please subscribe Ubuntu Desktop Bugs to bugs for this package.

The last time gnome-control-center was merged with Debian was 3.22.1:

I also lowered the recommends on realmd, rygel and gnome-user-guide to suggests since they are all in universe.

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

Please re-enable unit tests and make sure they fail the build if they fail. The open bug as a rationale for disabling tests seems like something that should be quite easy to fix, even if the fix is to remove that test as a distro patch.

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

That comment about tests was meant for gnome-system-settings, not gnome-control-center.

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

I've re-reviewed gnome-control-center since I mixed it up with gnome-settings-daemon before, and since there had never been a MIR in the past (although it was in main before); MIR approved.
