Update to support 16.04

[stefanreimers]

Hi,
are there any plans to update the Hangups app in OpenStore to support the upcoming 16.04 release? Reading the docs (https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1215/updating-apps-to-16-04) tells me there are some settings to change but I cannot tell how much work the rebuilding and submitting to the store is.

I would appreciate that very much as I am a frequent user of the app.

Thanks for the help.

Hey @stefanreimers, thanks for the information.

Ubuntu Hangups is currently unmaintained because I'm unfortunately lacking the time and - as I'm personally not actively using Google Hangouts for chat messaging anymore - motivation to continue maintaining it. So there won't be any new features or even bug fixes from my side - at least for now.

That being said, if anyone wants to pick it up, I'm more than happy to help getting started. I will look into repackaging it for 16.04 and would also review and accept contributions for this matter.

Some AppArmor issues I ran into:

getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE) failed

@timsueberkrueb Yeah, I've got the same errors in console when running my app but it doesn't seem to be affecting any functionality fortunately. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DSs729tqCr/

Okay, interesting. The app crashed, so I was expecting this deny was related, but then it might actually be a different reason.
