add-libkibi-support-to-brasero.patch

Please add support for libkibi [1] (patch attached). libkibi is designed as
replacement for g_format_size_for_display. It allows the user to select the
preferred unit and implements Ubuntu's units policy [2].

Comment 2 Luis Medinas 2011-01-07 15:02:21 UTC
Hi

i suspect both patches aren't complete right ? 
A few questions... who is using this library ? 
It's something that needs to be implemented on a library instead of having this on glib upstream ?
Comment 3 Benjamin Drung 2011-01-07 15:10:37 UTC
The patch is complete. The API of libkibi will be stable once the first version is released.

The library is new and therefore there aren't users yet. Ubuntu 11.04 will use libkibi.

The reason for having a separate library is that it can be used by non-glib C programs without pulling glib. I am not sure if glib wants to add 10 functions for handling file sizes.
Comment 4 André Klapper 2012-02-08 14:19:23 UTC
Seeing that bug 554172 is fixed in glib and bug 638873 comment 4 for the same request for Nautilus I propose WONTFIX.
