-

runtime for webapps

dconf-editor

597562

-

was once part of d-conf

evolution

Y

-

even if not shipped by default, might not hurt to have it 'supported' in main, has a few universe deps not listed here, was in default install until 2011. (Laney: We intentionally demoted it out of supported when it had obsolete deps. I don't personally see why we would take on maintaining another application if we're not using it, especially one that hasn't been trivial in the past.)

gnome-characters

N

instead of gucharmap

gnome-contacts

1463657

-

depends on email decision? because it might duplicate the email client? also depends on libchamplain and folks

gnome-logs

1522078

-

instead of gnome-system-log

gnome-maps

N

- folks

614221

-

Was in main until unity8 was dropped to universe after zesty

- libchamplain

1463659

-

- gfbgraph

gnome-sushi

N

Press space bar in Nautilus to preview a file

-libmusicbrainz5

N

libmusicbrainz3 in 12.04 LTS in main

gnome-clocks

N

gnome-documents

multiple universe deps

gnome-music

We're using Rhythmbox for now

gnome-photos

N

We're using Shotwell for now, multiple universe deps

spice-vdagent

Better integration when run inside the GNOME Boxes virtualization app

fonts-cantarell

used in Shell by default if present, but we're using Ubuntu font now instead


Notes

  • Done means that is in main and in the default install
  • 'In main before?' should link to the approved MIR unless it was in main before Ubuntu had MIRs. In that case, just use Y for that field.
  • The Approved field allows us to easily see which MIRs have already been approved.
  • The Other category is for stuff that's not a priority now or maybe doesn't need to be in the default install or main.
  • The - in the first row is a basic form of nesting.
  • See MainInclusionProcess for how to file MIR bugs.
