Provide support for AyatanaAppIndicator3

maxerbox commented 2 years ago

Hello,

Debian based distros are not using libappindicator anymore. Please use AyatanaAppIndicator3-0.1 instead https://lazka.github.io/pgi-docs/AyatanaAppIndicator3-0.1/ as a fallback. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=895037

If you wanna take a look at the old python bindings : https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator/commit/8c4c6dbad48239d6bbe433d886a294a52f95fee5 I have created an issue https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator/issues/58

Last commit for libappindicator seems to have been over two years ago: https://code.launchpad.net/libappindicator

So switching to a currently maintained alternative as suggested here is a valid issue.

However, libayatana-appindicator does not provide Python bindings, so it doesn't seem like the correct alternative: https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator/issues/58

This project has moved to codeberg.

Follow-up for this issue is at https://codeberg.org/WhyNotHugo/caffeine-ng/issues/114
