[needs-packaging] [upgrade] Radiotray 0.6.3 Unity Appindicator support

[Xavier Guillot]

Binary package hint: radiotray

Please upgrade the Ubuntu package of Radiotray in official repositories for Natty.

Because right now it's still version 0.6.1 and it is not compatible with new Unity panel and Application Indicator, so impossible to launch it and have the icon in the panel.

Version 0.6.3 on the site - http://radiotray.sourceforge.net/ - has this feature but :

- it is not enabled by default, it must be modified by editing file .local/share/radiotray/config.xml and set :
<option name="enable_application_indicator_support" value="true"/>
 <option name="enable_application_indicator_theme_support" value="true"/>

- There is a problem with the deb package provided in sourceforge, when trying to install with Ubuntu Software Center, I get the error message :
Lintian check results for /home/valeryan24/Bureau/radiotray_0.6.3_all.deb:
E: radiotray: no-copyright-file
W: radiotray: latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-date
W: radiotray: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/radiotray
W: radiotray: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/radiotray-0.6.3/COPYING.gz

I could install Radiotray 0.6.3 with terminal and dpkg -i but it would be great to have an official Ubuntu package available.

Thanks in advance. Xavier

the latest version in debian-unstable squeeze is 0.6.2 - so it doesnt look like ubuntu can sync with that. Shame.

I've repackaged the latest sourceforge version to include the appindicator support - when I install it through software center it doesnt report those errors Xavier.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Oneiric Ocelot.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
