I would like to do a 0-day SRU. Could you confirm whether that is ok with the Release Team? This split & accompanying changes is larger than is usually accepted by the SRU Team so I would prefer for the Release Team to handle if they agree. Otherwise, this might just need to be left until 24.10, although that would mean that the explicit Recommends: gnome-software-plugin-deb would need to be carried until 26.04 LTS for upgrades to happen smoothy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056767 Title: FFe: Sync gnome-software 46.0-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) with gnome-software packaging split To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/2056767/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 2056767] Re: FFe: Sync gnome-software 46.0-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) with gnome-software packaging split
HI Jeremy, I am sorry that we couldn't get to it then. As you'd know the release team was swamped with so many things happening in the archive (time_64, xz CVE, et al). That said, I am still not sure if landing this now is a great idea. We're really close to the release and changing something like this in gnome-software for an LTS seems like a rather risky thing. Can I please ask you to defer this to post Noble release? And perhaps do a 0-day SRU or a regular SRU as you see fit? ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056767 Title: FFe: Sync gnome-software 46.0-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) with gnome-software packaging split To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/2056767/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The split is required to allow people to use the gnome-software app without .deb support. Some people want the app just for Flatpaks because the Snap Store handles .deb's and Snaps. I have seen several requests for this. I apologize for not pinging loud enough but I had finalized the FFe request by April 1/April 2. ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056767 Title: FFe: Sync gnome-software 46.0-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) with gnome-software packaging split To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/2056767/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 2056767] Re: FFe: Sync gnome-software 46.0-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) with gnome-software packaging split
Hey, hi! Quick question, the main concern is about splitting of the .deb into multiple binaries. Can this not happen in the next cycle? I'm always hesitant to bring in changes for LTS at the eleventh hour? What do you think about that? ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2056767 Title: FFe: Sync gnome-software 46.0-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) with gnome-software packaging split To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/2056767/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 2056767] Re: FFe: Sync gnome-software 46.0-4 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) with gnome-software packaging split
** Description changed: Impact -- I request permission to sync the gnome-software packaging from Debian. The biggest change is splitting gnome-software's .deb support into a separate package, gnome-software-plugin-deb, to match the existing -snap and -flatpak packages. This will allow users and flavors to specifically opt into the parts of the GNOME Software experience they want. For instance, someone may want to use only the Flatpak part because they use the Snap Store to manage .debs and Snaps. Or maybe they want a different combination. This has been requested by multiple users on Ubuntu Discourse and at least one Launchpad bug and one Debian bug. fwupd plugin I am dropping the fwupd plugin (now in a separate package too) to Suggests so upgrades to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS will likely get it uninstalled and new installs won't have it either unless a user explicitly installs it later. Ubuntu Desktop includes the firmware-updater snap. Several Ubuntu desktop flavors also include it. For people who don't want snaps, there is also the gnome-firmware app packaged as a .deb. Because Ubuntu already has update-manager to handle apt update notifications, I am also dropping the autostart file to reduce background RAM use. A few Ubuntu desktop flavors do not provide any firmware updater app at all. Ubuntu Budgie developers thought a firmware updater app was too technical for inclusion in the default Ubuntu 24.04 LTS install. autostart - I have also dropped the autostart file since the fwupd plugin is no longer included by default and Ubuntu already has ways to notify users about available apt updates (update-manager and unattended upgrades) and snaps already automatically update. Potential Problems --- gnome-software has an explicit Recommend: gnome-software-plugin-deb so that people upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS will keep the deb support installed. That recommends will be dropped for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS because it won't be needed then.
