Libraries
=====

* DONE - gtk 3.8: (Prerequisite for most of the remaining GNOME 3.8 packages)
- DONE - overlay scrollbars work only once LP: #1174927 (fixed in 3.8.2)
- DONE - Unreadable text in Software Center's left sidebar LP: #1173611 (this was a gtk bug, fix will be in 3.8.2, have cherrypicked patch for ppa)
- DONE - White screen when PrintScreen button is pressed LP: #1137907 (fixed in 3.8.1)
- Software Center crashes LP: #1163886

* DONE - gnome-menus
- Now there's a new Sundry category for stuff GNOME thinks is deprecated or shouldn't be as visible.

 * DONE - gnome-bluetooth
 - Drops fallback applet (we don't need it)
 - Drops nautilus-sendto plugin (reverted in Ubuntu)

* DONE - gnome-session LP: #1185873

* DONE - EDS
- Now includes UOA integration

* ibus 1.5:
- INPROGRESS - We need an indicator-keyboard https://launchpad.net/indicator-keyboard
- check status of "by win keymap" and the bugs that made Debian decide to go back to the old version

* NEW QUEUE - mozjs17 - Noticably improves GNOME Shell's responsiveness.
It's unlikely that all of the mozjs rdepends will be ported to the new API this cycle
so we need to have a separate source package (LP: #1113166)

* DONE - pango 1.34.0 / harfbuzz / fontconfig 2.10.92
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=946859 / https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=857922

* DONE - new poppler:
- soname change, need somebody to sponsor the transition (LP: #1135995)

* WebKit 2.0.3 (LP: #1186558)
- Packaged in GNOME3 PPA, the amd64 build took a very large number of retries to build without timing out.
- Needs a MIR for libwebp (LP: #1186553)
- WebKit2 libraries are built by default (and used by devhelp and epiphany-webkit2)

* gnome-panel & related "deprecated" pieces
- Should mostly work with a few bugs even though it's unmaintained:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-flashback-list/2013-April/msg00001.html

* DONE - Zeitgeist-2.0 0.9.14
- Needs review and sponsoring LP: #1155968

* DONE - gnome-desktop3
- LP: #1184812
- soname bump
- g-s-d/g-c-c require minor patches
- Except for that, the other rdepends will probably be fine

Apps
===
* Ported to the new appmenu:
- DONE - evince
- DONE - gedit
- DONE - rhythmbox (the UI is a bit unusual)
- DONE - devhelp (note https://bugzilla.gnome.org/695101 )

* DONE - Empathy
- Make sure UOA works correctly. I believe that check was what has so far kept the other social components (folks, evolution, gnome-contacts) from being pushed from Staging to the regular GNOME3 PPA

* DONE - Gedit
- 3.8.1 needs libzeitgeist2 zeitgeist 0.9.9 or higher. The Dashboard plugin needs it too or it won't work.

* Nautilus (LP: #1130746)
- DONE - 16_unity_new_documents.patch isn't sufficient to bring the right-click New Document menu item back
- INPROGRESS - Unity/Compiz really needs to handle drawing the desktop itself (when Nautilus doesn't). See Adam's notes at LP: #1159430

* nautilus-sendto
3.8 drops support for everything except sending files via email. We probably should stay with 3.6.

* gnome-terminal:
- Ported to gsettings, possibility for regressions. How well are existing settings preserved on upgrade?
- Need to figure out the vte.sh sourcing issue (otherwise new tabs won't keep the current working directory) LP: #1132700
   - Will probably require changes to how /etc/bash.bashrc works (it needs to source the vte script); asked doko to look at that
- No longer possible to have translucent backgrounds (but we don't do that by default anyway)

* vino:
- Make sure that the new notifications work correctly with Unity

* gnome-disk-utility:
- requires libdvdread which is in universe (needs a MIR) (https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-disk-utility/commit/?id=cb3afaea9c2f61a736871a4881945fb746c8c1ff)
- needs gnome-settings-daemon 3.8 too

* DONE - gucharmap:
- Can be synced from Debian, but unicode-data needs to be in main first

More Discussion
=========

* 3.10 stack components (glib, g-i, gvfs):
- not decided yet, let's land the GNOME 3.8 libraries first and wait to know a bit more of what is on the roadmap for the next cycle

gnome-control-center
==============

DONE:
- External panels work
- OnlyShowIn works
- VPN plugins work https://bugzilla.gnome.org/698215
- GNOME Language panel can now install additional languages, which is good because the 3.8 language panel is very different from previous versions
- accountsservice was updated. LP: #1190137

TODO:
- Upgrade to activity-log-manager 0.9.6 LP: #1189253
- Copy Screen Lock settings (moved to GNOME's Privacy panel) to Privacy. LP: #1189313
- Consider simplifying the Ubuntu logo patch so that we don't have to wait on Design every cycle and to simplify backporting. LP: #1181442
- symbol conflicts between gnome datetime panel and libtimezonemap (LP: #1187981)
- systemd-services should probably recommend libnss-myhostname LP: #1162478
- modemmanager needs to be updated. LP: #1123302
- ibus 1.5 / missing indicator-keyboard
- GNOME Language panel doesn't handle multiple preferred languages https://bugzilla.gnome.org/664723 (is this important enough to block on? - jbicha)
- Enable removing languages (not directly supported by PackageKit)
* Disabled patches:
   - 10_keyboard_layout_on_unity.patch: (layout panel from 3.6 is gone, will need to patch back the old panel if this is wanted)
   - 59_install_gcm_components_on_demand.patch (do we really need this? it saves like 5MB space)
   - 60_ubuntu_nav_bar.patch: Obsolete?
   - 99_add_lock-on-suspend.patch
   - revert_new_ibus_keyboard_use.patch
   - sound_nua_panel.patch (is this still needed? functionality is largely the same with upstream sound panel)

- mpt doesn't like the new list box UI
- name changed to "Settings"; mpt prefers the "System Settings" name. If the name is changed for the GNOME session too, we should think about patching gnome-shell to match.

* The Sharing panel is useful although it was designed for a Red Hat style of handling services. With that model, services are not automatically run when installed, which allows those distros to include openssh-server by default. It's assumed that distros will install all the useful services by default.
- By default Ubuntu will get Screen Sharing (basically replacing vino-preferences) and Bluetooth Sharing (for computers with bluetooth)
- If someone adds PackageKit integration, perhaps Media Sharing (rygel) and Remote Login (openssh-server) could be enabled.
- However, the code currently requires systemd for the ssh "Remote Login" panel.
- Personal File Sharing is the frontend for gnome-user-share now but since it's just webdav sharing, this section is unusable in Ubuntu where gnome-user-share doesn't come with apache2. We could patch to hide sections like this.

Currently, we're showing Sharing in Unity but not (GNOME) Privacy.

gnome-settings-daemon
===============
- Except for ibus / missing indicator-keyboard and gnome-control-center being ready, g-s-d should be ready now.
- DONE - require logind to land
- DONE - figure details of locking (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691202 "power: Drop explicit screen locking on suspend", moving to gnome-shell) - was fixed in gnome-screensaver.
- DONE - Check whether media-keys/notifications changes affect Unity (The keygrabber was moved into gnome-shell, notifications patch applies ok with a refresh)
- Things that have been removed that Unity uses:
   - DONE - Screenshots https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681844
   - DONE - Automount helper https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682859
* Disabled patches from 3.6 that need work:
    - 48_register_client_before_idle_callbacks.patch (I don't think this needed anymore)
    - revert_new_ibus_use.patch
