[Izidor Matušov <izidor.matusov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Izidor Matušov has proposed merging lp:~gtg-contributors/gtg/bug591747 into lp:gtg.

Requested reviews:
  Gtg developers (gtg)
Related bugs:
  Bug #591747 in Getting Things GNOME!: "Split plugins in separate packages (in Fedora)"
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtg/+bug/591747

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~gtg-contributors/gtg/bug591747/+merge/132664

I put a list of dependencies for every plugin and synchronization in README. When a package maintainer package GTG 0.3, she can follow the list of dependencies and create a special package for plugins/synchronization services.

+There are additional plugins (modules for extending the user interface) and

+
+"Bugzilla" plugin dependencies:
+  * python-bugz
+
+"Export and print" plugin dependencies:
+  * python-cheetah
+  * pdflatex
+  * pdftk
+  * pdfjam
+
+Installable on Debian-based system via
+    $ sudo apt-get install python-cheetah pdftk pdfjam texlive-latex-base

+"Geolocalized tasks" plugin is not maintained for a long time and needs to be
+rewritten from scratch. Dependencies:

+  * python-clutter-gtk
+  * python-champlain
+  * python-champlain-gtk
+
+"Hamster Time Tracker Integration" plugin needs a running instance of Hamster.
+
+"Notification area" plugin has only an optional dependence for systems
+which supports indicators:
+  * python-appindicator
+
+"Send task via email" plugin does not have any external dependencies.
+
+"Closed tasks remover" plugin does not have any external dependencies.
+
+"Tomboy/Gnote" plugin needs a running instance of Tomboy or Gnote.
+python-dbus
+
+"Urgency Color" plugin does not have any external dependencies.
+
+=== Dependencies for Synchronization Services ===
+
+Evolution synchronization service has dependencies:
+  * python-evolution
+  * python-dateutil
+
+Because of a bug in PyGTK (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtg/+bug/936183),
+the synchronization service freezes GTG and the synchronization service can't be used.
+
+MantisBT synchronization service has a dependency:
+  * python-suds
+
+Launchpad synchronization service has a dependency:
+  * python-launchpadlib
+
+Gnote and Tomboy synchronization services has no external dependency.
+
+Identica and Twitter synchronization services are shipped with the local
+version of Tweety library.
+
+Remember the Milk synchronization service is shipped with a library for RTM api. It has an external dependency:
+  * python-dateutil
+
+Remember the Milk is not maintained for a long time and might be potentially harmful.
