Hi,
Yesterday, after I committed the typo to Calendar, I promised to use
merge requests from now on when committing build fixes. Previously, I
had promised to do this only for your projects, but yesterday I forgot,
and not for the first time. I understand that's frustrating. From now
on, I'll use MRs for all projects that use CI. I had already promised
this in [1] in hopes of smoothing things over with you, but I see that
didn't work. I had also attempted to apologize via IRC. You are right
about the importance of MRs.
I actually did at first temporarily switch libgweather.bst to use a
3.36 release tarball when I didn't see any easy way to fix your vapi
file [2]. This turned out to not be needed because, with some help from
Rico, we found a simple and obviously-correct solution to the problem
[3]. I followed that with [4] to keep your CI working; it would have
been better had I pushed both at the same time to avoid the canceled
pipeline, but I hope that's not a big deal. Next time, I will use a MR
and wait for your CI before merging.
That said, keeping things building from git master is far preferable
to pinning old tarball versions that we will forget to undo later, so
I'd prefer to continue to reserve pinning to tarball versions as an
absolute last resort, not as normal practice.

I get that there might be a thrill to being a build sheriff, but if
you're going to commit directly to master without reviews or CI
checks,
you need to be absolutely 100% spotless.
It's not a thrill, it's purely frustrating. I accomplished almost
nothing yesterday afternoon other than chasing build failures. But if
we want to have flatpak runtime and GNOME OS updates, we have to do it.
I hope you'll reconsider your decision to drop libgweather over this.
Regardless, thanks for maintaining libgweather for so long.
Michael
