On gnome-shell, we now understand there are complications with API
breakage in microreleases, so we need a plan for reverse dependency
shell extensions to mitigate potential regressions. Discussion at
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/scope-of-gnome-mru/18041. I don't think
we can proceed with the gnome-shell microrelease update until we have a
plan for this.
I don't think it makes sense to proceed with yaru-theme either until
this is resolved, since I understand that's based on the gnome-shell
update that is not concluded yet.
I don't understand why yaru-theme needs to be updated, either. I see
that this has been done for yaru-theme once before, but I've found no
explanation as to why. The current queue diff has:
diff --git a/debian/README.source b/debian/README.source
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..84c9d3c

If this isn't used for generating the final packages at all, why do you
propose to make users download an update?

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
That's the current GNOME stable update, including some fixes and translation
updates
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/commits/3.36.6
Since the theme side of the project in ubuntu is shipped via Yaru
theme, that project is included in the SRU.
The changes involving yaru here are ONLY gnome-shell upstream changes
applied to the Yaru sources, as per this we can consider them also
part of the GNOME release.
The yaru-theme's `gnome-shell/upstream` directory is just for documentation
and
to allow three way merges when updating to new versions of gnome-shell,
and it is not used for generating the final packages at all
[ Test case ]
The update is part of GNOME stable updates
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME
GNOME Shell and its components should continue working
[ Regression potential ]
There have been fixes in popup-grab handling, gdm view fixes,
lockscreen display changes in some hw, extensions updates
