Name        : wicd
Product     : Fedora 16
Version     : 1.7.0
Release     : 12.fc16
URL         : http://wicd.sourceforge.net/
Summary     : Wireless and wired network connection manager
Description :
Wicd is designed to give the user as much control over behavior of network
connections as possible.  Every network, both wired and wireless, has its
own profile with its own configuration options and connection behavior.
Wicd will try to automatically connect only to networks the user specifies
it should try, with a preference first to a wired network, then to wireless.

This package provides the architecture-dependent components of wicd.

Update Information:

This bug addresses four issues present in wicd that is in F-16:

- Ensure wpath.etc is set to /etc/wicd, not /etc/dhcp (#754412)
- Initialize child_pid to None in wicd-daemon.py (#798692)
- Make wicd-gtk subpackage require notify-python (#748258)
- Work around no-op problem in DaemonClosing calls (#740317)

These are relatively minor and have been fixed in F-17 and rawhide, but users of F-16 may want this update.

Please remember to restart the wicd service if you do not reboot your system after installing these packages.
This update fixes two issues with the wicd packages:

1) wicd-curses was crashing on any keypress once it was running, this update fixes that with a backport of the fix from 1.7.1.

2) The wicd daemon requires pygobject2, so add that as an explicit requires on the wicd-common package.
