Sorry, trying again....
When developing components like gnome-shell and gnome-session, I've
found myself working in a VM and installing directly into /usr/bin.
It's the only way I'm aware of that works. (You can try /usr/local, but
then you have to hack executable paths in several projects....)
Since it was already not possible to run these components with JHBuild,
this does not seem like a regression to me. Tristan mentioned the
future goal is to create a VM image, but one step at a time.
If you are aware of some way that you can successfully run gnome-shell
or gnome-session or gdm or similar components using JHBuild, I would
love to know! gnome-shell used to be possible using 'jhbuild build
gnome-shell' and 'jhbuild run gnome-shell -r', but the last time that
worked for me was many years ago. Even trying different combinations of
undocumented args like --nested and --wayland, I've yet to see it work
in recent times.
