Precarious status of Shutter in Debian
Hello
Debian is moving away from Gnome2::VFS [1] . This obsolete module will be
removed from next release of Debian.
Unfortunately, shutter, a very nice Gtk2 screenshot application, depends on
Gnome::VFS, which means that shutter will be removed from Debian unless this
dependency is removed from shutter [2].
I guess that the options are:
* port shutter from Gnome2::VFS to GVFS or GIO
* replace Gnome2::VFS with other Perl modules.
Unfortunately, Debian perl team do not have the skills or bandwidth to work on
this port, I hope that someone on this list will be able to help.
Does anyone on this list have better ideas ?
All the best
Dod, on behalf of Debian Perl team
