I did some progress on this, visible on the feature/7711-Gtk3 branch.

What works:

• app launches without error,
• menus (action and right-click, some changes where needed in the code to make the action menu work, see 913921b2f6300f828523602cbc2dfce40d2b3950)
• getting content of primary and secondary clipboards and change the icon accordingly

What doesn’t:

• encrypt / sign
• decrypt / verify
  Apparently due to a similar issue with function call on both (missing args):

  Gtk3::Clipboard::set_text: passed too few parameters (expected 3, got 2) at ./bin/openpgp-applet line 331.

  
  It’s probably trivial, didn’t look into it yet.

• errors while browsing available keys :

  *** unhandled exception in callback:
  ***   Can't locate object method "get_indices" via package "6" (perhaps you forgot to load "6"?) at ./bin/openpgp-applet line 443.
  ***  ignoring at /usr/share/perl5/Gtk3.pm line 767.
  

  
  The culprit is Gtk3::SimpleList, apparently. It doesn’t seem to work exactly the same as the Gtk2 counterpart.
  The key listing code may need to be rewritten; in that case, there will be an opportunity to rework the UI a bit to show user IDs in the list and not using a tooltip. Maybe something looking more like seahorse ?
  I’ll ping -dev and -ux if that is indeed the case.

Cheers !

• Subject changed from Port the OpenPGP applet to GTK3 to Port the OpenPGP applet to GTK+ 3

Hi nodens! Can you please update the status? In particular, what’s the status wrt. Gtk3::SimpleList? Did we gain a dependency on it?

(Rationale: as part of porting Tails to Stretch, due to many issues with TopIcons, I’m very tempted to do Bug #8310, but if I do that work based on the GTK+ 2 branch it might be a bit painful to merge with the work you’ve been doing on this ticket. So I’d like to help completing the port to GTK+ 3 as soon as possible. But of course I don’t want to duplicate possibly unfinished work that might be on your hard drive only :)

• Feature Branch set to nodens:feature/7711-Gtk3

I’ve pushed a few bugfixes to your branch (and one change to master).

I’ve disabled public key encryption/signing locally (by commenting out use Gtk3::SimpleList and the inclusion of $msignencrypt in the actions menu), and all other functionality seems to work fine for me :)

Then I’ve imported Gtk3::SimpleList locally, and public key crypto operations seem to work fine!

So it seems to me that we just need to decide how to ship Gtk3::SimpleList and then we’re good to go. I think we can I’m going to upload Gtk3::SimpleList to Debian and be done with it.

Any other blocker?

OK, works for me. I’d still like to get rid of SimpleList, because of the maintenance problem it might cause in the future (very quick port upstream, never updated, a bit buggy because a bit different in places than the gtk2 version…), I created another issue (Feature #11746) for this since it means non-trivial changes in the code and probably looks.

Thanks !

I’ll have a look and merge it if that’s ok for you.

I guess now it’s in sid there is only the debian packaging to update. As an upstream, I guess it’s time for us to release a 1.0 version now that we switched to GTK 3 (yay !), what do you think ?

Cheers,

nodens

Exactly.

Before tagging the release, I wanted to check old bugs that could have seen a change since we both switched to GTK3 and gpg2 and make sure we have up-to-date translations.

I’m done with the first part, so we only need to integrate the up-to-date translations from Transifex (Feature #11793). Once this is done, I suggest we create a branch release/1.0 to prepare the release. Whoever reviews&merge it can tag the release.

FWIW my notes for a new Release:

• update translations:
  • dzil msg-scan
  • get up-to-date translations
  • dzil msg-merge
  • commit the updated translations
• prepare release
  • bump versions + copyright year if needed in dist.ini + bin/openpgp-applet
• build release:
  • dzil build
  • dzil test
  • if everything OK, release branch can be merged to master, reviewed, ans the release tagged
  • mv OpenPGP_Applet-$VERSION.tar.gz ../ (and push it to the alioth page along with changelog and signature)
• clean local repository
  • git clean -fdx

Done! Pushed the tag. I’ll let you handle the Debian part (and I can sponsor the upload if needed, but please try to find someone else on #debian-perl first).

> FWIW my notes for a new Release:

Maybe add them to a RELEASE document in the Git tree?

Also, wrt. release timing: Tails 2.7 will use the same frozen APT snapshots as 2.6, so it’ll stick to openpgp-applet 0.9.1. And we have quite some time to get this into jessie-backports in time for 2.8 (whose freeze should be ~early December).

I’m marking this as resolved, and will track the next steps on Feature #11899, but still: ping about the above :)
