[Bug 849361] Re: Extension not working in Oneiric

[Emilien Klein]

Indeed, the fix is released upstream and in Debian Sid, but you're
right, in Ubuntu it isn't yet released (that's what we're currently
working on...)

To have the Nautilus extensions work with Nautilus 3, release 1.1 of
python-nautilus is needed. However, in Oneiric we integrated the needed
patches before upstream released 1.1 [0], which resulted in the
1.0-0ubuntu2. As far as Ubuntu is concerned, the dependency can be made
on >= 1.0-0ubuntu2 (but NOT 1.0-0ubuntu1 since the patches are not
present in there).

The reason why the Debian package lists >= 1.1 is that Debian upgraded
it's python-nautilus directly from version from 0.6.1 to 1.1 [1].

Do you need more information from my side for the upload?

Title:
  Extension not working in Oneiric

Status in “nautilus-image-manipulator” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “nautilus-image-manipulator” source package in Oneiric:
  New

Bug description:
  == SRU ==

  [Impact]
  Nautilus Image Manipulator does not work in Oneiric since the Nautilus extension and the program had to be upgraded to work with Nautilus 3 and PyGI/GTK+ 3. See related bug reports [0] and [1].

  [Development Fix]
  I have released a new microrelease that solely addresses this issue. N I M 0.4 is now available and I've uploaded it to Debian Unstable. The package in Precise should work out of the box when it is refreshed from Sid (along with python-nautilus). I haven't actually tested the package in Precise, but have in Debian Sid and Ubuntu Oneiric (see below).

  [Stable Fix]
  Version 0.4 is a microrelease made to address only this problem, no new functionality has been added. The changes can be reviewed in lp:nautilus-image-manipulator, r92 to r100. The code in version 0.4 is the same as the current head, i.e. r100.

  I've installed the package straight from Debian [3] and it works in
  Oneiric. There is a warning when installing the package with `dpkg`
  since there is a dependency on python-nautilus (>= 1.1) but Oneiric
  has 1.0-0ubuntu2. But the needed patch to python-nautilus [4] is
  present in the current version in Oneiric. I would need somebody to
  explain to me if the Depends line in `debian/control` needs to be
  modified to `python-nautilus (>= 1.0-0ubuntu2)` manually, or if this
  can be done automagically.

  [Test Case]
  bzr branch lp:nautilus-image-manipulator
  cd nautilus-image-manipulator
  mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions
  cp ./nautilus_image_manipulator/nautilus-image-manipulator-extension.py ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions
  sudo ln -s [FULL_PATH_TO_PWD]/bin/nautilus-image-manipulator /usr/bin
  nautilus -q && nautilus --no-desktop

  When right-clicking on an image file (or a group of files), a new
  contextual menu will appear, called "Resize images...". It launches
  Nautilus Image Manipulator.

  [Regression Potential]
  The package is currently broken in Oneiric, i.e. it can be installed from the repository but nothing will appear. No other package depend on this package, so I see very little regression potential. Consider also that Oneiric is the first release where Nautilus Image Manipulator would be available, so there is no problem like upgrading users being affected.

  == ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION ==

  In order to fix bug #836601, the package got rebuilt so as to put the extension in the "correct" Gnome3 nautilus extension folder:
  /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/
  Now the package is placing the extension in that folder, however the right-click menu is not displayed after restarting the session.

  According to python-nautilus' /usr/share/doc/python-nautilus/README in
  Oneiric:

  As of nautilus-python 0.7.0, scripts are also loaded from
  $XDG_DATA_DIR/nautilus-python/extensions, which includes
  ~/.local/share and /usr/share (or whatever your $XDG_DATA_DIR is set
  to).

  I also saw an example here [0] that changed the path where the extension is set to /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions
  The last comment here [1] also mentions the use of this new folder.

  I need to investigate how the Python Nautilus extensions are supposed to work with Gnome3/nautilus-python 1.0...
  In order to test, I also installed nautilus-pastebin, and that program's extension also failed to show. There seems to be a generalized problem with Python Nautilus extensions starting with Ubuntu 11.10...
