Dear Maintainer,
I'm using Ubuntu 22.04, but it inherits all cairo-dock packages from Debian, so
it seems more appropriate to report it here as I believe this applies to the
Debian version as well.
The Status-Notifier and the Indicator-Generic plugins provide useful
functionality: they offer a "new-style" systray / indicator area on the dock
that is used by many recent apps (e.g. nm-applet, GNOME's keyboard layout
indicator).
Currently, I believe that these are not packaged for Debian (and consequently
Ubuntu). I can install these by building from source easily and can confirm
that they work well.
I have looked into the build logs available here:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=cairo-dock-plug-
ins&arch=amd64&ver=3.4.1%2Bgit20201022.a0d3415c-1.1&stamp=1694094453&raw=0
and it seems that these two plugins actually get built, but then are not
included in any binary package that is generated. You can confirm this by
searching for "Indicator-Generic" or "Status-Notifier" in the log above
(messages are displayed for compiling and "installing", but not for includig in
the .deb packages.
Given this, I belive that including them would be simply a matter of updating
"debian/control" and providing the appropriate "debian/*.install" files. I was
actually able to build packages for them this way:
https://launchpad.net/~kondor-dani/+archive/ubuntu/ppa-cairo-dock-wayland
and can provide the necessary changes if needed.
Thank you for your consideration.
