glipper package (precise) no longer contains plugin grow.py

[Anthony Borrow]

I began playing with 12.04 today doing some testing and noticed that glipper in 11.10 contained a plugin called grow.py that is not included in 12.04. I was curious if this was an intentional or accidental omission. I found the grow plugin to be a pretty good feature as it keeps the history shorter and thus makes it more efficient to use. I've also noticed the the new glipper does not seem to be as stable and it looks like those bugs are being worked on. Let me know if I can help with testing. Peace - Anthony

I originally asked if this omission was intentional at: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glipper/+question/190817 and was encouraged to file a bug report. If there is anything I can do to be helpful just let me know. Peace - Anthony

Just an update that I ran a apt-get purge glipper and manually removed the /usr/share/glipper/plugins directory and then re-installed and this time the grow plugin was enabled by default. My guess is that the plugin is included by default. In any case, this issue can be closed as I do not believe any further work is required. Peace - Anthony
