10:39 jackpot51 Can we talk about this patch again? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1699216 ··· 10:39 ubot5 Ubuntu bug 1699216 in gnome-initial-setup (Ubuntu) "Encrypted home support" [Wishlist,Confirmed] 10:40 jackpot51 I just saw a new accountsservice show up, superseding my patches for encrypted home. 10:40 jackpot51 Here is a debdiff of the patch I want to keep in accountsservice, one that allows gnome-initial-setup and gnome-control-center to support Encrypted Home https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1699216/+attachment/4945507/+files/accountsservice_encrypt_home.debdiff ··· 10:40 ubot5 Ubuntu bug 1699216 in gnome-initial-setup (Ubuntu) "Encrypted home support" [Wishlist,Confirmed] 10:41 jackpot51 GunnarHj and others would you mind taking a look? 10:44 seb128 jackpot51, sounds a bit late in this cycle for such changes 10:47 jackpot51 All I want is the accountsservice patch, so we don't have to hold a forked accountsservice 10:52 jbicha we never found anyone willing to review the accountsservice patch :( 10:53 jackpot51 Well, every time accountsservice gets updated in Ubuntu, I get fucked. Why? Because I cannot rename the package. 10:53 jackpot51 So I am probably going to have to drop the patches for encrypted home entirely 10:56 jbicha once Ubuntu 17.10 is released, any SRUs for accountsservice will have to age in -proposed for at least 7 days first. That gives you time to update your PPA. 10:56 jackpot51 Ok, that would be good 10:57 jackpot51 Many users are getting pop-gnome-initial-setup removed if they dist-upgrade 10:58 jackpot51 It doesn't break their systems, but it introduces a significant amount of maintenance work 11:54 GunnarHj Hi jackpot51, sorry if you felt ignored by my accountsservice upload. That was not my intention. 11:54 GunnarHj I have noticed your patches previously, but unfortunately they are too complex for me to review. The change I uploaded was a trivial one, and that's what I do - trivial stuff. :) 11:54 GunnarHj Hopefully some experienced developer will find the time in the beginning of next cycle. 11:57 jackpot51 I dropped all our patches. Users will have to wait until Ubuntu can merge the patch, it is too much maintenance work to have encrypted home in gnome-initial-setup and gnome-control-center 11:59 jackpot51 The only other alternative was to use an epoch, which would make it impossible to go back to the Ubuntu version if the patches are merged 12:00 dmj_s76 This patch represents a fairly important feature for us. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699216 Title: Encrypted home support Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-initial-setup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In the CreateUser D-bus call, allow the home directory of the new user to be encrypted.
