[Bug 1041303] Re: Feature freeze exception request: Plz update Onboard to 0.98.0 targeted at quantal

[Francesco Fumanti]

The mousetweaks typo is fixed now. I simply replaced the files attached
with the fixed version without increasing any version numbering as the
version with the typo was not yet uploaded to the ubuntu repositories. I
hope that it is ok that way.

Moreover, I took the opportunity to simplify debian/rules a bit: instead
of having two "dh $@" calls differentiated by an if else conditional, it
now only has one "dh $@" call and the conditional is used to specify the
options of the "dh $@" call.

The uploaded files are again all taken from the
/var/cache/pbuilder/result folder.

Title:
  Feature freeze exception request: Plz update Onboard to 0.98.0
  targeted at quantal

Status in “onboard” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Could you please update the version shipping with Ubuntu quantal to
  Onboard version 0.98.0 that was released on the 23rd August and that
  especially targets Ubuntu quantal?

  Rational for the freeze exception: Onboard version 0.98.0 uses python3
  instead of python2, it now uses a standard gsettings path, it includes
  changes to better work with Unity and the Unity-greeter...

  Here are the main changes as described in the debian/changelog file:

  For more details, please have a look at the commits in trunk between
  revisions 753 and 940.

  Regression potential: marmuta, the main coder of Onboard these last
  years does regression testing for all releases manually by checklist
  in the desktop environments that matters most for Ubuntu, particularly
  Unity and GNOME Shell... We also have the intention to remain
  available to provide fixes in case of problem.

  Moreover, in the case of problems, it should not affect other fonctionalities as: 
  $ apt-cache rdepends onboard
  onboard
  Reverse Depends:
    onboard:i386
    xubuntu-desktop
    ubuntu-desktop

  
  Requirements: Onboard 0.98.0 needs virtkey 0.61.0, as it uses now python3. Thus, python3-virtkey that gets produced by the same source package as python-virtkey has to be accepted from universe in main, as Onboard 0.98.0 requires it and as Onboard is the default onscreen keyboard of Ubuntu. (python-virtkey is in main for several years already)
