--- Begin Message ---Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: moreinfo User: [email protected] Usertags: transition X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] We're heading towards the point where GNOME 40 is ready for unstable. This involves the usual libmutter transition. In addition, there have been various functionality moves and other reshuffles among core GNOME packages. I think it will be best if we deliberately *avoid* uploading some of the core GNOME packages to unstable until we are fully ready for the transition. We are *not* ready for a transition slot yet (hence moreinfo tag), but I'm opening this bug early so we can mark it with its blockers. Core packages: - gsettings-desktop-schemas (must go first) - gnome-settings-daemon - gnome-control-center - mutter - gnome-shell - gnome-desktop3 - this one is not strictly versioned, but it'll be less confusing for everyone if we upload it as part of the same transaction - budgie-desktop (non-GNOME package, fixed version in Ubuntu but not experimental) Additionally, libgweather entangles the transition with: - libgweather (has Breaks on lots of things) - evolution-data-server :-( - gnome-applets - gnome-calendar - gnome-panel - gnome-weather - wmforecast (non-GNOME package, fixed version in experimental) Entanglement that I know about so far: - libgweather has some sort of incompatible behaviour changes without a SONAME bump. I need to look into this. I hope this part can be broken out into a separate transition or something, perhaps by backporting support for the new libgweather into old callers or by temporarily adding compatibility with the old libgweather to new callers, because it links the mutter and evolution-data-server transitions and that doesn't seem ideal. - Many new packages need the new gsettings-desktop-schemas. - As usual, the new gnome-shell requires the new mutter, while the old gnome-shell requires the old mutter. We have to do this part in lockstep. - GNOME Shell has changed its workspace layout from vertical to horizontal, and the default keybindings in gsettings-desktop-schemas have changed Super+PgUp, Super+PgDn to match. The new default keybindings will make no sense for the old Shell. I don't think this is necessarily important enough to need a Depends/Breaks, but we should minimize the time that this situation exists for. - Mouse settings have moved from gnome-settings-daemon to gsettings-desktop-schemas. If we have the new g-s-d and the old g-d-s, things will still technically work, but gnome-tweaks will seem broken (because it's using the new settings that the old g-s-d ignores). - Responsibility for audible feedback when taking a screenshot moved from gnome-settings-daemon to gnome-shell. Again, this isn't important enough to need Depends/Breaks, but we should minimize the skew. - gnome-control-center configures all the other core packages so its version should not diverge. Ben file for the mutter transition, which is the key thing here: title = "mutter"; is_affected = .depends ~ "libmutter-7-0" | .depends ~ "libmutter-8-0"; is_good = .depends ~ "libmutter-8-0"; is_bad = .depends ~ "libmutter-7-0";
