Comment 30 for bug 1029289

@Clint: I'll try to re-summarise the details:

[Test Case] Sometimes after one day, sometimes after one week, the system indicator will turn red and the Google account will be marked as needing reauthentication. Time can vary, but any period shorter than one month is a symptom of the bug.

[Regression Potential] Minimal: the change to the Google plugin (in account-plugins) simply changes the authentication method, in a way that is well-documented. The change in signon-plugin-oauth2 affects only those accounts/providers which use the OAuth refresh tokens -- which is only Google, at the moment -- and in a way that can't possibly break any existing functionality; if the new code had some mistake, the refresh token would be unusable and the system would automatically fall back to requesting a new access token (which is exactly what happens now, with this bug).

I'll try to find why the account-plugins package was not uploaded; indeed, both are required in order to fix this bug.
