Bug Description

Binary package hint: gpass

The gPass Glade files (located in /usr/share/gpass) use an old glade file format, I have corrected this by putting them all through glade-3 (with gnome support). Also it uses inefficient methods, like using a button that has a container, containg an image an a label, when simply a GTK Stock Button can be used.

They also have some confusing passages of text, which I have corrected to be more easily understandable.

Finally, they don't use GTK Stock icons in most cases, instead opting for Gnome Stock Icons, which then don't chnage with the current GTK Theme, again I have changed this.

I have attached a patch that solves all of these issues that needs to be applied to the '/usr/share/gpass' folder. I have tested everything and it all works.

I would be very happy if someone could update the package for this.

Here is a debdiff for Jaunty, which includes the changes specified above, but also has some changes in the source code files which makes them use gtk stock icons over gnome stock icons.

Can you please forward the change upstream? The change is rather large and very hard to maintain if upstream changes.

Martin, did you get a response from the upstream author? Will your patch be accepted?

Please forward your patch to Debian. It's better to have your patch in Debian and Ubuntu instead of Ubuntu alone. When your patch is accepted by the Debian maintainer, it will be automatically synced to Ubuntu. I unsubscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors for now. Please resubscribe the us, when the Debian maintainer does not respond to your bug report.
