Hi, as next step of getting GNOME 3 into unstable, we'd like to request a slot to start the nautilus 3 transition The API of libnautilus-extension hasn't changed with version 3.0, but it uses GTK 3 now which changes its ABI and a process can't be using GTK 2 and GTK 3 at the same time, as this will lead to an application abort [1]. As a result, we decided to change the binary package name to libnautilus-extension1a. Packages which are updated to libnautilus-extension 3.0 need to also be updated to GTK 3 (GNOME 3). I've filed corresponding bug reports for the affected packages: brasero deja-dup diff-ext eiciel evince file-roller gksu gnome-disk-utility gnome-user-share gtkhash nautilus-actions nautilus-dropbox nautilus-filename-repairer nautilus-image-converter nautilus-open-terminal nautilus-python nautilus-sendto nautilus-share seahorse-plugins totem tracker Those bugs are also user-tagged [2]. Some of those packages are already updated in experimental. I will mark those bug reports accordingly. - gnome-user-share uses libgnome-bluetooth 3.0, which would mean entangling those two transition, so I'd suggest temporarily disabling bluetooth support in gnome-user-share. - totem 3.0 (from exp) requires a newer libgdata (involving a soname bump). We probably need to do this transition first. I'll file a separate bug for that. - Updating nautilus-sendto to 3.0 (available in exp) will break the plugins shipped by empathy and gnome-bluetooth: gnome-bluetooth: /usr/lib/nautilus-sendto/plugins/libnstbluetooth.so nautilus-sendto-empathy: /usr/lib/nautilus-sendto/plugins/libnstempathy.so I'd prefer to temporarily break those plugins in nautilus-sendto to not entangle this transition with an empathy 3.0 or gnome-bluetooth 3.0 update, but some of the pkg-gnome team would like to at least update empathy. So input from the release team on this matter would be appreciated. I've also started collecting notes about this transition at [3].
