Bug#1017623: nautilus-filename-repairer: Fails to build with Nautilus 43
I reviewed the code for a while but it needs a significant change to migrate. Adopting new APIs was relatively easy, but this repairer extension works by launching several modal synchronous dialogs, which are obsolete in GTK4, in sequence. This impacts the whole flow of this program in GTK4 migration. Maybe it's time for this old package to retire. I'll consider ITP as new if the upstream does the migration in the future.
Bug#1017623: nautilus-filename-repairer: Fails to build with Nautilus 43
Source: nautilus-filename-repairer Version: 0.2.0-3 Severity: important Tags: ftbfs sid bookworm The newest release of Nautilus, version 43, has switched to GTK4 and includes major changes in the extensions API. nautilus-filename-repairer will need to be converted to GTK4 and make other changes for the new version. Nautilus 43 is available in Debian Experimental. When we upload nautilus 43 to Debian Unstable, we will need to remove nautilus-filename-repairer from Testing unless this bug is fixed, because the package will no longer build from source. Thank you, Jeremy Bicha
