[needs-packaging] package filemanager-actions missing

[grn]

nautilus-actions was deprecated in favour of filemanager-actions (see https://github.com/GNOME/nautilus-actions ).

But 18.04 repositories do not have either of the packages.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Daniel (daniel-marynicz)]

You can use this as base package https://github.com/Daniel-Marynicz/filemanager-actions-debian-packging

For debian/ubuntu packing.

Come on Guys, its 5 months since deprecation note on https://github.com/GNOME/nautilus-actions
Cant you take a favour of @daniel-marynicz hard work and take his package and use it in proposed updates as a starter ?

[Tom (tom-lorinthe)]

I have a whole list of actions and cant use it anymore. Filemanger Actions stopped working for some reason...

[flo schneider (0penartist)]

You can use this ppa meanwhile

ppa:tomtomtom/filemanager-actions

https://launchpad.net/~tomtomtom/+archive/ubuntu/filemanager-actions

thus, proper debian source packaging already exists, so putting into repository should be rather easy ;-)

but as debian upstream also does not have the package, and ubuntu is largely dependend on this, I would file a bug at debian to include fma, as it then gets into ubuntu repos anyways.

[Lenin (gagarin)]

@Tom (#7), are your actions online somewhere to view?

[CarbonPepper (carbonpepper)]

Any update?

I'd rather not fill our systems with random 3rd party repos.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The package is waiting sponsoring in Debian, https://mentors.debian.net/package/filemanager-actions

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

(Jeremy B. said he would have a look to review/sponsor)

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

filemanager-actions will be available in Ubuntu 19.04 which will be released in April.

[CarbonPepper (carbonpepper)]

Great that it's in 19.04. Would be good to have available in current LTS release: 18.04
