Package: gnome-shell-extension-espresso Version: 8-2 Severity: important Tags: trixie sid upstream User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: gnome-shell-45
As with every 6-month GNOME Shell release cycle, extensions will need to be updated for GNOME Shell 45, which is currently being prepared in experimental. A porting guide is available here: https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-45.html For the 44 -> 45 transition, most or all extensions will need incompatible code changes, because GNOME Shell has switched from non-standard gjs modules ("const Foo = imports.gi.Foo") to ECMAScript modules ("import Foo from 'gi://Foo'") and all extensions need to do the same. This means most or all extensions will split into a branch for Shell <= 44 (which might not be maintained upstream any more) and a branch for Shell >= 45. If not updated, this extension will have to be removed from testing for the GNOME Shell 45 transition (I don't know when that will be). This bug will be raised to serious severity when the transition is ready to go ahead. There does not seem to have been any work upstream yet on GNOME 45 support. This particular extension is redundant with g-s-e-caffeine. I originally uploaded it because g-s-e-caffeine seemed to be unmaintained, but actually g-s-e-caffeine seems to be updating to new GNOME releases faster than g-s-e-espresso, so it might make more sense to remove -espresso and only keep -caffeine. smcv
