[Bug 1029289] [NEW] Need to authorize my google account each time I boot the computer

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Alberto Mardegan (mardy):

[Impact] Google calendar integration is broken, and users are requested
to re-enter their Google password everytime they log in, or everytime
they enable/disable their Google account from the System Settings.

[Test Case] Disable/re-enable your Google account. When affected by this
bug, a notification will appear and you'll be asked to enter your Google
password in the Online Accounts panel in System Settings.

[Regression Potential] Minimal: the fix is a backport of a patch from
the evolution-data-server code which is already in 14.10, and which only
touches the calendar code (which is currently broken).


Old description
===============

[Test Case] Sometimes after one day, sometimes after one week, the
system indicator will turn red and the Google account will be marked as
needing reauthentication. Time can vary, but any period shorter than one
month is a symptom of the bug.

[Regression Potential] Minimal: the change to the Google plugin (in
account-plugins) simply changes the authentication method, in a way that
is well-documented. The change in signon-plugin-oauth2 affects only
those accounts/providers which use the OAuth refresh tokens -- which is
only Google, at the moment -- and in a way that can't possibly break any
existing functionality; if the new code had some mistake, the refresh
token would be unusable and the system would automatically fall back to
requesting a new access token (which is exactly what happens now, with
this bug).

I'll try to find why the account-plugins package was not uploaded;
indeed, both are required in order to fix this bug.
