I'm not seeing a compelling reason to switch to 3.24 and the newer vte other than the version bump.
If your argument is that after this revert, both gnome-terminal and vte are effectively identical feature-wise as what we have in the archive right now, then you're not introducing or removing features, in which case you don't need a Feature Freeze Exception in the first place. If this change does introduce/remove features to gnome-terminal and vte, please list them in a readable format (not an upstream git log/diff). I think the pcre2 MIR could do with an API diff between pcre3 and pcre2. Your massive patch suggests that the two APIs are very much different and that it's not something we can do as a typical transition, making the need for both of them to live in main together much clearer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666264 Title: FFe: Update gnome-terminal to 3.24 and vte to 0.48 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1666264/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
