Please remove pyclutter from Intrepid archive

Hi,

Debian has removed the package, see

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/07/msg00627.html

There is still no 0.8 release at

  http://clutter-project.org/sources/pyclutter/

Perhaps we should be removing the package as well.

Thanks,

James

Agreed. Changing this to a removal bug....

ACK from me, please remove.

However, I don't think it should be blacklisted. If Debian gets
a fixed package back then we should take it.

Thanks,

James

Is there any way to work with PyClutter in the current builds of Intrepid?
Perhaps there is a way to install / test Clutter 0.8x Python bindings from
source, or a personal archive?
Thanks for any help,
   Brian

That's the problem, I don't think 0.8 bindings exist anywhere, certainly
not in the location I would expect to find them.

Hi,

I have been notified that we may have pyclutter 0.8 by the end of the week,
and so we shouldn't remove it yet.

Thanks,

James

The week has ended and the release date is approaching! pyclutter is not installable in intrepid!

James, did you have further notifications?

Hi Pietro,

I was just about to start work on this. Hopefully we should have
a resolution to this today.

Thanks,

James

Hi,

Packages are now up on my PPA

  https://edge.launchpad.net/~james-w/+archive

(there's all sorts in there, so I would advise you just install the .deb,
or add the repo, install python-clutter and remove it again)

Please test them and report any issues here so that we can know
what the best course of action is.

Two known issues so far:

  1) Flickering on intel.
  2) Crash on exit.

Please confirm whether you see these issue, and report any others you
find here.

There are several examples shipped in the package in

  /usr/share/doc/python-clutter/examples/

any testing with applications that make use of pyclutter would be appreciated.

Thanks,

James

Hi,

After some testing, and trying updated clutter packages I'm not
comfortable putting an SVN snapshot in to Intrepid at this point.

Apologies to anyone that wants to use pyclutter on Intrepid, but
you will have to build the 0.8 release yourself when it happens. We
may be able to explore backports or a PPA if desired.

Thanks,

James

Oh, and thanks to everyone that helped trying to save the package, sorry it didn't
work out.

Thanks,

James

Yeah, that kind f sucked. But your package works flawlessly, James. Thank you.

Thank you, James et. al., for the packaging effort - it was great to get a
crack at working with the new version.

removed

an official pyclutter 0.8 has been released.

Is there any chance to get it in Intrepid ?

Since Intrepid is now in feature freeze, I think it's best that we not include this in the Intrepid release. We only have a six month release cycle, and those who REALLY need it (like Entertainer) will put the package in their PPA.
