Bug#996607: transition: mutter and GNOME Shell 41 (libmutter-9)
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-gtk-gnome@lists.debian.org
Forwarded: https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-mutter.html
I know it only seems like yesterday that we did the mutter 40 transition;
but it was delayed by a few months by the freeze, and a GNOME release
cycle is only 6 months long, so it's already time for the next major
release. This is staged in experimental, and is not entangled with
other packages like evolution-data-server, gsettings-desktop-schemas
and libgweather this time round.
As usual this will require sourceful uploads of:
* mutter
* gnome-shell
* gnome-shell-extensions
* budgie-desktop (non-GNOME-team but the maintainer is usually very quick,
and has already uploaded a suitable version to experimental)
and then updates or removal for most Shell extensions.

I already did some mass-bug-filing for extensions, tracked by
<https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bts-usertags.cgi?user=pkg-gnome-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org&tag=gnome-shell-41>.
Some are already fixed in experimental, or even in unstable for extensions
that happen to be compatible with both 40 and 41. Many of the rest were
already autoremoved from testing due to incompatibility with Shell 40.
