Gwibber python 3 port

[Ken VanDine]

The port of the gwibber-service to python 3 is nearly complete and it would be great to land this in 12.10.

Along with being ported to python 3, this port includes an extensive new test suite. The port was done entirely using TDD, so the test suite was created from scratch and port was done to the tests. The test suite alone would be a great reason to get this in 12.10.

Erm, triaged means FFe approved, setting back to New.

Is this actually ready now?

The testsuite sounds nice (jenkins?), what about the packaging? Could you attach a diff of debian/ for us to review?

Sorry, no. We've decided to postpone this until 13.10. I removed the FFe
from the bug description, but I don't think I can unsubscribe ~ubuntu-release

OK, please twiddle as appropriate when done.

So this is *very* close to being done, with just a few very minor bugs outstanding. The port has actually surpassed feature parity with the old python2 codebase. Since the port grew into a ground-up rewrite, we've renamed it and it's now living in lp:friends.

@ Robert

Was a python3 gwibber package uploaded into ubuntu? If not "Fix Committed" is not correct status. Maybe there should be a new task open? e.g. the friends project?

[Robert Bruce Park (robru)]

No, a gwibber package featuring a python3 port was never uploaded to ubuntu, and won't ever be. 'Gwibber' for all intents and purposes should be considered abandoned at this point (at least the gwibber-service and libgwibber backends anyway).

friends-service is essentially a ground-up rewrite (hence the new name) that is vastly more compact and efficient, and it has not just matched but *surpassed* feature parity with the old gwibber.

With that in mind, I'm not sure what status you feel would be correct for this bug, but however you look at it, the porting is done and friends is running really smoothly ;-)

13.10 is nearly out. Is this fixed yet?
