[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#894320: ibus: Drop Build-Depends on gconf2

[Jeremy Bicha]

Source: ibus
Version: 1.5.17-3
Severity: serious
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs gconf
Tags: patch

Your package build-depends on gconf2, but gconf will be removed from Debian soon.

The dependency appears unused so please remove it.

However, there is a complication. As I mentioned on
https://bugs.debian.org/864913 your debian/watch does not actually pick up the official release tarballs but the automatically generated tarballs GitHub makes.

The official tarballs have ./configure run which allows you to complete the build without gsettings-compile-schemas (which gconf2 provides).

I suggest you apply my 0000 patch to debian/watch
and then import the new 1.5.18 release.

And then there are several more changes you'll need to make to get the new version to build so I'm attaching those patches too.
