[Bug 1318533] Re: Inappropriately depends on unity8

 

Indicator-network depends on unity8 as it's the only notification-
service implementation that has all of the required extended menuitems
and snap decisions.

For indicator-network to be usable outside unity8, few things have to
happen:

1. We need to introduce a virtual package unity-notifications-service
2. unity8 must claim to provide unity-notifications-service
3. indicator-network must depend on this virtual package
4. Pantheon must implement the extended menuitems and snap decisions and have it's notification service of choice to claim to provide unity-notifications-service

Unless somebody from the community commits to 4. this will stay in the
wishlist category.

Bug description:
  indicator-network 0.5.1+14.04.20140409.1-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 14.04

  1. apt-cache show indicator-network | grep Depends

  What happens: The result includes unity8.

  What should happen: The result does not include unity8.

  This prevents indicator-network from being used in Elementary
  Pantheon, for example.
