Bug#806176: jessie-pu: package gnome-gmail/1.8.3-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: jessie
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org

thanks
Per 805926, gnome-gmail is broken on Jessie due to a lack of support
for OAuth2, and a reliance on GNOME 2 for configuration data. I went
through the exercise of crafting a minimal upgrade to address these
two issues, and have come to the conclusion that it makes more sense
to backport July's 1.9.3-1 release instead.
Basing the stable release on 1.9.3 adds other changes that make sense in stable:
- Adapt to the changing levels of default mailer support required by
LibreOffice
- Replace the partially-deprecated GMail IMAP extensions with the
more robust/secure GMail API
- Improve the reverse-engineered GMail simple draft access URL
- Support for multiple GMail accounts
- Support for source tar signatures
- Support for additional languages
External repo access to GNOME Gmail 1.9.3 has been available for some
time. I've tested this release against Jessie. There have been no
problem reports from Jessie users.

A diff of the changes is a bit problematic. An interactive compare is
