Keep in mind, that in unstable/buster, the network-manager VPN plugins
have been switched over to disable the deprecated libnm-glib support.

This means you can no create/edit/activate VPN connections from within
cinnamon or cinnamon-control-center (see #857224)

So an update of those two packages is strongly recommended.

Regards,
Michael

Please reconsider to upload 3.6. It would be nice if I could move
forward with the deprecation of libnm-glib.

Thanks,
Michael

I'm still using it on Sid of my notebook.
Is not uploaded because Maxysaid to skip cinnamon 3.6 that not have
significative big changes (except network part) and close only few
debian bugs.

Any updates? This bug has been marked pending for a while now.

NM-1.0.typelib has been split into it's own package gir1.2-nm-1.0 in
version 1.8.0-2 (currently available in experimental).

Which means the following package dependencies should be updated
accordingly:
gir1.2-nmgtk-1.0 → gir1.2-nma-1.0
gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 → gir1.2-nm-1.0


Assuming the upstream PR is merged, the build-dependencies need to be
changed as well:
libnm-glib-dev → libnm-dev
add libnma-dev

Would be great if you can make those changes in experimental or early in
the buster release cycle.

Bug#857231: Should be ported from libnm-glib/libnm-gtk to libnm/libnma

[Michael Biebl]

Source: cinnamon
Version: 3.2.7-2
Severity: normal
User: pkg-utopia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: libnm

Hi,

libnm-glib has been replaced by libnm and libnm-gtk has been replaced by
libnma.

Looking a the cinnamon source, it seems to use the GIR bindings in
js/misc/modemManager.js
files/usr/share/cinnamon/applets/netw...@cinnamon.org/applet.js

Please port cinnamon to use NM-1.0.typelib and NMA-1.0.typelib
(gir1.2-nma-1.0)

The API documentation for libnm can be found at [1].
The API documentation for libnma is available in the libnma-dev package
starting with version 1.4.6-1.

Regards,
Michael
