** Changed in: gnome-snapshot (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
** Summary changed:
- [FFe] Replace cheese by gnome-snapshot in the desktop image
+ Replace cheese by gnome-snapshot in the desktop image
** Description changed:
Replacing cheese by gnome-snapshot is on the desktop plans for this
- cycle but has been taking longer than expected (rust packaging
- complication + MIR delays). We got a +1 MIR review on the MIR bug
- #2052652 now and security team said they should have their review also
- done by the end of the week.
-
- The rational for the change is that cheese has been in low maintenance
- mode for years and is quite buggy. GNOME switched their default camera
- application in GNOME 45 (a cycle ago).
-
- It's also an oem team request since 22.04 to 'fix or replace" cheese
- since it has flaws which are problematic for hardware enablement. The
- fact that there was no action on fixing those problems since 22.04 is
- confirming that the project isn't really active anymore.
-
- gnome-shapshot is also using the current gtk4 version (which will make
- it more consistent with the other desktop applications, cheese is still
- using gtk3) and libcamera which is making it compatible with newer
- mipi/ipu6 cameras.
-
- The regression potential is limited since that's a standalone
- application mostly used to test the camera and do selfies and video
- recordings.
