Package Name: libcloudproviders Version: 0.2.5 Upstream Authors : Carlos Soriano and Julius Haertl License : LGPL-3+. Programming Lang: C Description: cloud provider library libcloudproviders is a glib based library that makes it easier to implement a cloud provider server or client. . libcloudproviders also provides a DBus API that allows cloud storage sync clients to expose their services. Clients such as file managers and desktop environments can then provide integrated access to the cloud providers services. Other Info -------------- Currently, the only supported provider is Nextcloud. This package won't work for Nextcloud until proposed patches are accepted in gtk3 and there is a new Nextcloud release. libcloudproviders was a GSOC 2017 project. Here are updates from the GSOC student: https://blog.juliushaertl.de/index.php/category/gsoc-2017/ libcloudproviders is a major part of GNOME's strategy to deprecate the traditional "system tray". https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/StatusIconMigration/ The somewhat generic name is intentional because it is hoped that this library will be useful for other desktops and file managers. By the way, this is one of the first projects to use GNOME's GitLab beta hosting. https://gitlab.gnome.org/External/libcloudproviders The Debian GNOME team currently intends to maintain this package.
