Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: trixie X-Debbugs-Cc: gnome-shell@packages.debian.org, debian-gtk-gnome@lists.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:gnome-shell User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu [ Reason ] Catch up with upstream bugfix releases [ Impact ] If not accepted, various bug fixes that happened upstream since Debian 13.1 will not be available to users of stable. [ Tests ] A functionally-equivalent test-build is available from <https://people.debian.org/~smcv/temp/2025/13.3/>. The only differences between that and the proposed version are in debian/changelog. I have been using this version on a GNOME desktop for a while, and recently upgraded my work computer and my partner's daily-use laptop to match. I asked for wider testing in <https://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2025/11/msg00015.html> and have not had any regression reports. (I haven't had any positive test results either, though.) I have not attempted to reproduce specific bugs. There is unit test coverage, although due to the nature of a Wayland compositor it's somewhat limited. In this update, Marco Trevisan added autopkgtest coverage, which runs upstream's unit tests modified to work against the installed gnome-shell rather than the just-built version. [ Risks ] A Wayland compositor is not a simple codebase, so regressions are possible. Upstream is generally good about solving regressions in their next stable release (48.8 is due on around 2026-01-03, which is slightly too late for our planned 13.3 point release on 2026-01-10). A misleadingly-named D-Bus signal that is part of the communication between the main Shell process and the UI for authenticating to wifi captive portals has been renamed. This is technically an API break, but as far as I can tell this D-Bus interface is only used by components that are part of the gnome-shell source package, so it shouldn't cause regressions. [ Checklist ] [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [ Changes ] All changes are described in the changelog. The downstream code changes are limited to build-system tweaks that are part of enabling autopkgtest coverage. The attached debdiff is filtered to exclude verbose non-executable files (keyboard layouts and translations), upstream's CI (not used in Debian), and patch content. The changes made by patches are included in the diff. [ Other info ] This version has only been tested together with the corresponding mutter update. I'm not aware of any explicit dependencies, but I suggest accepting or deferring both, as a batch.
