** Description changed:
Impact
------
There is a new bugfix release in the stable series associated with GNOME 42
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/-/blob/1.72.1/NEWS
2 of the bugfixes are already in Ubuntu 22.04. One of the others fixes a
memory leak.
We would like this update to be in Ubuntu in time for 22.04.1 LTS
Test Case 1
---------
Install the update
Log out
Log back in
GNOME Shell should still work well
Test Case 2
-----------
Verify that the gjs apps still run ok:
- gnome-books
- gnome-characters
- gnome-maps
- gnome-sound-recorder
- gnome-sushi
- gnome-weather
+ Test Case 3
+ -----------
+ gjs has build tests and autopkgtests (installed tests). Those should all
complete successfully.
What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
GNOME Shell is the heart of the Ubuntu desktop experience. gjs is a key
component of GNOME Shell.
A severe enough bug could mean that people are unable to use their
desktop version of Ubuntu.
Smaller bugs could interrupt people's workflows.
gjs is part of core GNOME and is included in the GNOME micro release
exception
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME
Other Info
----------
A meson regression is preventing gjs from being buildable in Ubuntu 22.10.
The Desktop Team will definitely update gjs before Ubuntu 22.10's release.
