#892 desktop-data-model, online-desktop,bigboard updates
Closed: Fixed None Opened 16 years ago by otaylor.

Add like to get the following packages tagged into dist-f10:

  • desktop-data-model-1.2.5-1
  • online-desktop-0.3.2-1
  • bigboard-0.6.4-2

They introduce the last elements of a couple of small features:

  • Allow adding accounts to the online accounts list locally instead of having to go to online.gnome.org; this also allows using the accounts list if you want to only keep it local and not store it online.gnome.org
  • Pull IM buddies for the online desktop from Empathy as well as Pidgin

As well as bug fixes, among others:

  • Store account passwords in the correct keyring so they are saved between sessions and not just in the current keyring
  • Make the Logout menu item for the online desktop work
  • Adding missing Requires: python-twyt to get twitter "gadget" to work

They aren't dependencies of any other packages, so the chances of breaking anything beyond the online desktop is very small. We've installed the packages as built in koji and tested that they work as expected.

Not updating them would harm the user experience with the Online Desktop Demo session (not being able to log out in particular) and make the accounts list feature less useful, but would have no effects on the standard session.


Making an executive decision to tag this, in the interest of getting it in rawhide and testing.
