Bug Description
Please sync gnome-user-share 3.18.3-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main)
The version of gnome-user-share currently in Ubuntu has 2 features:
Bluetooth and WebDav.
Ubuntu has installed gnome-user-share by default for many years so that sending and receiving files over Bluetooth works. That feature is now rovided by gnome-bluetooth and gnome-control-
Ubuntu has delayed packaging a newer version of gnome-user-share because it
was using unity-control-
Ubuntu has one long-standing diff from Debian. Ubuntu's gnome-user-share
package does not actually include the apache dependencies needed for the
WebDav feature to work (LP: #536766). Since that's now the only feature in
gnome-user-share, dropping this diff makes sense.
$ reverse-depends gnome-user-share
Reverse-Recommends
==================
* cinnamon-
* gnome-control-
Reverse-Depends
===============
* gnome-core [amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el]
* ubuntu-
* ubuntu-
Step 1
------
Ubuntu and Ubuntu Budgie both use gnome-control-
a. Drop the dependency on gnome-user-share from at least
gnome-control-
b. Demote gnome-user-share to universe.
Step 2
------
Sync gnome-user-share from Debian.
Therefore, I recommend delaying Step 2 until 18.04 development opens.
Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
* Add git_add_
- Backport commit from 3.22 to add systemd user service file for
compatibility with gnome-settings-
* debian/control.in:
- Build-Depend on systemd
* d/p/0004-
for users of gnome-file-
* debian/patches: 0001-revert-
Fix launching of Prefences from nautilus share bar under unity and
patch infobar color (LP: #1562515)
* maintscript: remove old xdg autostart file (lp: #1526894)
* New Upstream release (LP: #1518813)
* Merge with Debian, Remaining changes:
- Suggests the apache2.2-bin and libapache2-
depends on those, we want obex push to work out of the box but we don't
really need webdav and the apache binaries on the default installation.
- debian/patches:
+ 0001-revert-
Bring back the preferences app for Unity and modify to allow g-s-d sharing
panel to also work
+ 01_notification
for files received.
- debian/rules:
+ Don't change path to httpd
+ Remove apache 2.2 config

Well I guess the recommended package is not a fully functional Apache so maybe Step 1.c. isn't that important and we can consider Step 2 for artful.
