We request permission to upload GNOME Shell 51 to Unstable and
complete its transition. It is already staged in Experimental.
Packages we will upload as part of the transition:
- gnome-extensions-app (new to Unstable; was previously included in
source gnome-shell)
- gnome-kiosk
- gnome-shell
- gnome-shell-extensions
- mutter
- xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
Once packages are in Unstable, we will need 2 types of hints from the
Release Team to complete the transition:
- A hint to migrate the uploaded packages together. Britney has so far
been unable to calculate this on its own. My guess is this is because
of the widespread use of versioned dependencies from extensions on
gnome-shell which makes it easy for users to see which packaged
extensions will break when upgrading
- A hint to remove extensions from Testing that were not updated for
GNOME Shell 51 yet. This is the largest removal list for us yet. The
porting work is often simple but I don't want to be personally
responsible for the growing list of extensions that I don't use. We
filed bugs for affected packages 2 weeks before filing this transition
bug. We can provide a full list as a reply to this bug when the
transition is otherwise ready to migrate. The list will basically be
the same as the open bugs from:
https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bts-usertags.cgi?user=pkg-gnome-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org&tag=gnome-shell-51
On behalf of the Debian GNOME team,
Jeremy Bícha

I propose that we ignore https://bugs.debian.org/1151665 .
Unfortunately, the Nvidia driver situation in Debian is not great. I
think it's helpful to keep the bug as RC status so that some people
might see the bug and delay upgrading their Debian installs.
These are my suggestions for hints to finish the transition:
ignore-rc-bugs 1151665 mutter/51.0-3
hint gnome-kiosk/51.0-2 gnome-shell/51.0-3
gnome-shell-extensions/51.0-2 mutter/51.0-3
Hint for mutter added.
The other packages need to be hinted together.
They all migrated without a hint in a test run.
And they are in testing now. Closing.
Cheers,
Emilio
