sru for new app-install-data

I thought we changed the name of the package to app-install-data-partner in Jaunty?

The test case for this is to make sure:

1.) acroread and adobe-flashplugin still show up in i386 search list
2.) adobe-flashplugin is still searchable in amd64 search list
3.) symphony us now searchable in i386
4.) alfresco-community is now searchable in i386 and amd64 installs

This update is for jaunty only atm.

Accepted app-install-data-partner into jaunty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I have installed app-install-data-partner 11.9.04.3 from jaunty-proposed, and can confirm that alfresco, symphony, acroread, and adobe-flashplugin are all searchable and installable on i386, and that package install and removal continues to work there.

I have some concerns with this update on amd64, however.

  1) alfresco-community correctly show up and is installable, so that's okay.

  2) adobe-flashplugin shows up in the search list, but there are no amd64 packages available. It is not selectable/installable (in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/app-install-data-partner/+bug/405176/comments/1 #2 perhaps brian meant acroread?)

  3) symphony also shows up, but again no amd64 packages. Not selectable/installable

  4) acroread shows up and there *is* an amd64 package in the partner archive, but the package is not selectable/installable through gnome-app-install because /usr/share/app-install/desktop/acroread.desktop contains:

     X-AppInstall-Architectures=i386

  Fixing that to add amd64 makes the acroread packages installable. This is also likely an issue in intrepid.

I suspect (4) ought to be fixed by this update. Ideally, symphony and adobe-flashplugin (2) and (3) wouldn't show up as available on amd64, but perhaps a bug in gnome-app-install itself. Note that if you add amd64 to their .desktop files, they become selectable, but then gnome-app-install goes through the work of (re-)adding the partner archive, updating the apt cache, and eventually pops up a dialog to indicate that the package is not available on amd64 -- at least this gives an indication to the user why it can't be installed, unlike the merely unselectable entry if things are done as they currently are.

One last thing: some of these packages have lpia versions. Should the desktop files also contain lpia where they exist?

Thanks.

Hi Steve,

#2, you are correct - I meant to say acroread on amd64. We don't have an amd64 build of flash (yet)

#3, I would think this is a bug in gnome-app-install. Nothing in this package appears that it should make symphony or adobe-flashplugin show up on amd64 builds.

#4, Correct again - this is a bug. I left out the amd64 tag on acroread by mistake (must have slipped through the cracks on the last update as all i did was add symphony and alfresco-community this time)

I have pushed an update to my branch and contacted mvo. Hopefully he can kick off a new build.

Hm, the new version in the queue just adds amd64 to the acroread desktop, but doesn't remove amd64 from flash. Shouldn't that be fixed as well? Anyway, I accept the new version for now, since it's an incremental improvement.

I can confirm that the version of app-install-data-partner in jaunty-proposed, 11.9.04.4, adds symphony and alfresco-community, and makes acroread installable on amd64. alfresco-community and adobe-flashplugin are still uninstallable, but reading the description provided by gnome-app-install more closely, it tells the user that. Applications continue to be installable and removableon both i386 and amd64. Marking verification-done.

This bug was fixed in the package app-install-data-partner - 11.9.04.4

Accountz installed and ran fine on Ubuntu KK 64bit, Sun java default.

uex is working too.

Hi Michael,

I added openbravo-erp which was uploaded to karmic yesterday.

I submitted my changes to the karmic-partner branch and tested a build using the debian folder from your karmic branch and it worked fine. The only problem I see is that app-install-data-partner in karmic still has the files:

/usr/share/app-install/channels/jaunty-partner.list
/usr/share/app-install/channels/jaunty-partner.eula

These should be renamed to karmic-*

Thanks!

-Brian

accepted into karmic-proposed, please test

I can confirm that the version of app-install-data-partner from karmic-proposed, 12.9.10.3, adds OpenBravo ERP to the software-center tool, that it's installable from there, and that software-center continues to install and remove software. Marking verification-done.
