Here's an example where it's used for something else: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-boxes/-/commit/b536a968eb192 It would be nice if the upstream developers would handle user session migrations tasks themselves, but they often don't.
Hi, this seems really interesting, can be useful in some rare cases, I don't remember I've ever seen it before.
However, I have a doubt, but it allow you to do any operation on user profiles? in this case, even if it is useful, its wrong use (intentional or by mistake) would be worrying
Package: dh-migrations Provides: dh-sequence-migrations Description: debhelper extension for session-migration support This package provides a debhelper extension to perform session migration operations on the installed packages.This also seems extremely generic. Migrations could refer to anything, from databases, to any other data source. Something like dh-gsettings-migrations seems like would be way better?Despite being around for a decade, it looks like it's only used by about 6 current Ubuntu source packages so a rename is doable if needed. I think I wouldn't even need a transitional package since we'd rebuild all those Ubuntu packages which would get them the properly named dependency. Here's a suggestion: user-session-migration dh-migrate-user-session Providing dh-sequence-migrate-user-session Thank you, Jeremy Bicha
