Message-ID<KgsqR-h0Ry-15@gated-at.bofh.it>
Source: gnome-shell-extension-espresso
Version: 10-3
Severity: serious
Tags: trixie sid
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: gnome-shell-48

The Debian GNOME team is intending to include GNOME Shell 48 in
trixie. GNOME Shell 48 Beta is currently available from experimental.

Many packaged GNOME Shell extensions compatible with 47 can be made
compatible with 48 by simply patching the metadata.json file to add
"48" to the list and then bumping the upper GNOME Shell Depends to
gnome-shell (<< 49~).

Or, it's possible that code changes will be
necessary. Upstream provides a migration guide at
<https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-48.html>.

The original purpose of this release was to be a replacement for the
caffeine extension (which was unmaintained for a long time), but it seems
the caffeine extension is now better-maintained than -espresso, so it's
possible that I'll ask for this one to be removed instead of updating it.

Simon, if mutter's autopkgtests pass after today's upload (which I
expect), I intend to file the GNOME Shell 48 Beta transition bug
tomorrow. What would you like to do with this package?

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha

I think it would be fine to remove it. I only packaged it because -caffeine
was having trouble keeping up with GNOME Shell updates, but in fact
-caffeine has been doing better than -espresso for several release cycles,
so I think it could be time to call that a failed experiment.

Sorry, I've been a bit overwhelmed recently and didn't get round to
requesting removal.
