[FFe] peony

[handsome_feng]

Peony is the official file manager for the UKUI desktop, It allows one to browse directories, preview files and launch applications associated with them.
It forks from caja, and we changed the interface and layout for the moment.
It is a part of UKUI desktop environment: Bug #1663477.

This bug is tagged needs-packaging which identifies it as a request for a new package in Ubuntu. As a part of the managing needs-packaging bug reports specification, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Specs/NeedsPackagingBugs, all needs-packaging bug reports have Wishlist importance. Subsequently, I'm setting this bug's status to Wishlist.

[Jeremy Bicha (jbicha)]

It looks like you based your packaging off an old version of caja. For instance, it's generally not recommended to use -dbg packages any more (they were dropped in caja 1.14.2-1)

[handsome_feng (feng-kylin)]

we have updated the peony, Thank you !

[Jeremy Bicha (jbicha)]

Thank you. This is almost ready.

1. usr/share/appdata/ should be installed by peony not peony-common.

https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines#General

If you want upgrades to work correctly when moving files, you'll need to add Breaks/Replaces. Are people using that PPA? If so, I recommend bumping the version number to 1.0.0-0ubuntu2.
Then in debian/control, for peony, add
Breaks: peony-common (<< 1.0.0-0ubuntu2~)
Replaces: peony-common (<< 1.0.0-0ubuntu2~)

The trailing ~ is to make it easier for someone to backport in their PPA.

2. Very minor but you can use just 'Peony' in debian/copyright's Upstream-Name
If you want to mention caja, you can add a Comment: field

[handsome_feng (feng-kylin)]

Done.

Thank you !

Just a drive by comment:

That should be /usr/share/metainfo now. appdata is the old path, which
still works but is now deprecated.

Hi, Laney,
   Done, and updated the release:
   https://github.com/ukui/peony/releases/

   and debian/ folder:
   https://github.com/ukui/peony/tree/master/peony/debian

   BTW, can you help to upload the ukui-indicators(Bug #1664232) and approve the UKUI pakcages which uploaded to the zesty queue?
   1. ukui-desktop-environment
   Bug #1663477

   2. ukui-menu
   Bug #1664229

   3. ukui-control-center
   Bug #1664244

   4. ukui-screensaver
   Bug #1664247

   5. ukui-session-manager
   Bug #1664256

   Thank you in advance!

[Jeremy Bicha (jbicha)]

Sorry, I found one more thing that needs to be fixed before upload.

According to Debian's gobject-introspection policy
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-gnome/desktop/unstable/gobject-introspection/debian/policy.txt?view=markup

3. The gir package should be named gir1.2-peony-2.0
4. /usr/share/gir-1.0/Peony-2.0.gir should be moved to libpeony-extension-dev (Remember to add the Breaks/Replaces for the move and bump the Ubuntu version number)
5. libpeony-extension-dev should depend on gir1.2-peony-2.0

The caja packaging is not a good example here but nautilus is.

6. Uh, I think we would normally need a transitional package for gir1.2-peony's rename except that I don't think anything depends on it so it's probably not installed on anyone's computer?

I can't - you need someone in ~ubuntu-archive to do that.

(ukui-indicators is uploaded as mentioned in that bug)

Thanks, Jbicha, Laney.

  No, it's not officially released yet. And I have updated the debian/ folder of peony in debian-packages:
  https://github.com/ukui/peony/tree/master/peony/debian

  Thank you!

[Jeremy Bicha (jbicha)]

Thank you for helping to make Ubuntu better.

I have uploaded peony to zesty's new queue. It will still need to be approved by Ubuntu's Archive Administrators before it will be available in Ubuntu.

I have unsubscribed ubuntu-sponsors. Feel free to resubscribe if you have something else that needs to be sponsored.

By the way, you can drop the Breaks/Replaces on peony-common when you make your next Ubuntu release. peony includes /usr/share/metainfo/ but the older version of peony-common included /usr/share/appinfo/ so there is no file name conflict.

[handsome_feng (feng-kylin)]

Mate-settings-daemon is updated to version 1.18 during peony waiting in the zesty's new queue. And it no longer draws the backgrounds of the system. Now, peony is utilized to draw backgrounds for system. So could someone help to reupload the new version of peony?

the new release:
https://github.com/ukui/peony/releases/

and debian/ folder:
https://github.com/ukui/peony/tree/master/peony/debian

[Bhavani Shankar (bhavi)]

Hi,

The /debian directory link returns a 404 on my system and since peony is in new queue having a look at the debian directory also is essential along with the diff from previous version.

Thanks!

[Ma Jun (maclin.jun)]

Thanks Bhavani, we will check these issues.

[handsome_feng (feng-kylin)]

Sorry, the link of debian/ folder is wrong.

the new release:
https://github.com/ukui/peony/releases/

and debian/ folder:
https://github.com/ukui/debian-packages/tree/master/peony/debian

and the diff:
https://github.com/ukui/peony/compare/f69de8524da94a4fe2107b042edb3f62c716623a...97d01c61e01895abc9bb4fb8acdfbe4e48412bc3

[Jeremy Bicha (jbicha)]

handsome_feng, I waited for peony to be accepted into Ubuntu first. I have now uploaded 1.0.1-0ubuntu1 so I'm unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors.

[handsome_feng (feng-kylin)]

Jeremy, Thanks a million! :)
