[Bug 1035261] Re: Port compiz to gsettings and consequently remove unity-2d

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-meta - 1.280

---------------
ubuntu-meta (1.280) quantal; urgency=low

  * Refreshed dependencies
  * Added fonts-freefont-ttf to desktop
  * Removed unity-2d from desktop:
    it would need to be ported to gsettings to continue being installable.
    However it's unsupported now. Every 2d users are being transitionned to
    the 3d session. People without graphical acceleration will then use
    llvmpipe (LP: #1035261)

Bug description:
  Porting compiz and so unity to gsettings has a lot of consequences:
  - compiz:
    * build with gsettings support
    * add migration scripts
    * add xml files for the g-c-c integration (we used the metacity ones before)
  - unity :
    * gconf -> gsettings patches (2)
    * rebuild with the new gsettings compiz
    * add transitional packages for all unity-2d packages
    * add migration scripts
  - nux:
    * remove the X11 Xsession.d detection script
  - gnome-control-center:
   * should be ported in both the keyboard part by reverting the gsettings revert patch
   * in the unity background configuration panels to support gsettings
   * in the display configuration panels to support gsettings
  - gnome-settings-daemon to drop the gsettings revert patch:
  - metacity should be updated to >> 2.34.2 (gsettings integration, shared with compiz). Sync back with debian, demote to universe -> this forces us to drop a lot of patches to make unity-2d running
  - consequently, dropping unity-2d because of metacity patches won't be ported, and unity-2d isn't maintained to port from gconf to gsettings:. Removal from the archive
  - lightdm to transition people from unity-2d to unity-3d session
  - unity-greeter to drop hardware detection capability for nux
  - gnome-session to drop the unity-2d session and recommends
  - release-upgrader in precise to detect if the card can't run unity-3d, and if so, show a warning to tell to stay on the LTS
  - ubuntu-desktop seed to remove dep on unity-2d

  People forcing the upgrade or installing on a machine without hardware
  acceleration will then use unity with llvmpipe.
