Title:
Demote deja-dup-backend-gvfs and install on demand
Status in deja-dup package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
In the quest to remove Python 2 from the default desktop install,
we're down to just a handful of packages. Most problematic are samba-
libs due to upstream's position on Python 3 support and the difficulty
in porting that stack to Python 3.
Two packages which transitively keep Python 2 on the install are deja-
dup-backend-gvfs and gvfs-backends, due to the dependency through
samba-libs. One way to approach deja-dup-backend-gvfs similarly to
the way python-gi and duplicity are currently handled, which is that
they are installed on demand.
I suggest demoting deja-dup-backend-gvfs to a Suggests of deja-dup
(similar to currently deja-dup-backend-cloudfiles and deja-dup-
backend-s3), and modifying the install-pygi.patch to install this
package on demand. This should prevent gvfs-backends from appearing
on the iso by default, but it should get installed at that time too.
I have a proposed patch that seems to do the trick for me.
