Can't install cardapio-gnomepanel on Oneiric

[jpfle]

I added PPA for Oneiric, and if I try to install cardapio-gnomepanel, I have the following error:

$ sudo apt-get install cardapio-gnomepanel
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cardapio-gnomepanel : Depends: python-gnomeapplet but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
$

The package python-gnomeapplet is not on repositories.

That's strange, because in the link below it says that python-gnomeapplet *is* in the repositories...

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+package/python-gnomeapplet

So I'm out of ideas :(

[jpfle (jpfle)]

But here, it says it's not in the repositories:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/python-gnomeapplet

"Error: Package not available in this suite."

[Thiago Teixeira (tvst)]

You're right: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=gnomeapplet

So I guess we should contact the Ubuntu maintainers to ask them to include python-gnomepanel into Oneiric.

[jpfle (jpfle)]

I wrote a message on the Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list. See the following:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2011-August/012856.html

[jpfle (jpfle)]

On the discussion linked above, there's interesting information, for example:

> Yes, Ubuntu Oneiric ships GNOME 3; Natty shipped GNOME 2.32. GNOME
> Panel 3 is available for install in the repositories but panel applets
> must be ported to gnome-panel 3 or else they simply won't run at all.
> python-gnomeapplet is no longer being developed as Python developers
> need to use GObject Introspection instead of PyGTK to work with GTK3.

[Thiago Teixeira (tvst)]

Ok, so according to Jeremy in that mailing list thread:

"Yes, Ubuntu Oneiric ships GNOME 3; Natty shipped GNOME 2.32. GNOME Panel 3 is available for install in the repositories but panel applets must be ported to gnome-panel 3 or else they simply won't run at all. python-gnomeapplet is no longer being developed as Python developers need to use GObject Introspection instead of PyGTK to work with GTK3."

So this means I'm going to have to dig into the Gnome 3 source code to see how to write an applet, since there is no documentation available :-/

This will take me a few weeks, at least...

[Thiago Teixeira (tvst)]

Haha, I think we posted more or less at the same time :)

[Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)]

"gir1.2-panelapplet-4.0" package provides access to libpanel-applet-4 API. Some documentation is available in "libpanel-applet-4-doc" package.

Is there a way to vote on issues here?....either way, would love to see this implemented...for now I can live with just running cardapio hidden but definitely want to see this in the future :), thanks!

[Jay O'Connor (hello-jayo)]

I would love to see this happen too, now that the unity panel apps have been ported to gnome classic, adding cardapio would make it perfect!

it is kinda runable by putting a cardapio.desktop onto the panel as i do right now, it just not the same though :(

[Dave Nicolai (dacurnico)]

Count me in!

Cardapio-gnomepanel would be an awesome addition to users who are sticking with Ubuntu and gnome but want the lightness and familiarity of gnome fallback. Freezy Linux is a great example of this.

[Thiago Teixeira (tvst)]

Maybe python-gnomepanel got removed on the transition to Gnome 3 (since the new classic panel doesn't support old-style applets, which use Bonobo). I will have to check what people are using nowadays, although I don't have Oneiric to test this...

[Ikey Doherty (ikey-doherty)]

Have developed cardapio-gnome3 applet. Still working on it but its working pretty
sweet. Only thing it needs is to dynamically update its configuration on change in
Cardapio, and applet orientation awareness. Apart from that it goes :)

[Thiago Teixeira (tvst)]

Awesome, I will check it out later today!

Cheers

Sorry, I haven't had the chance to take a look at your code yet, but I'll
do it by Monday. Thanks for putting in all the work, though!
