Thanks for the suggestion, some questions > The build generates the locales it needs.
How does that work, to generate a locale it needs the entry /var/lib/locales/supported.d which is part of the langpack to exists no? > isn't actually used by anything in Ubuntu excluding the remnants of Unity so it's used by unity still? if so we need to get that fixed before we remove the patch. It also feels like a change probably better done at the start of a cycle than after feature freeze -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-desktop3 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1941965 Title: Sync gnome-desktop3 40.4-1 (main) from Debian experimental (main) Status in gnome-desktop3 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Please sync gnome-desktop3 40.2-2 (main) from Debian experimental (main) Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped: * Merge with debian, remaining changes: - Add 04_compute_average_color.patch: Compute the avergage color in gnome-desktop itself, not in unity to fix some races (LP #963140) - Add tweak_color_computation.patch, Patch from Gord, no patch header, no bug link. - debian/control.in: Build-Depend on language-pack-gnome-he for build tests - debian/rules: + Specify gettext domain for dh_translations. - The language-pack dependency is not needed since the build tests work fine without it. The build generates the locales it needs. - I added the translation domain to Debian since we've added similar overrides in Debian in libgweather and glib2.0 - That leaves 2 patches. Both of the patches take an existing function to determine the "average" color of the desktop wallpaper and tweak it so that it looks at the left side of the wallpaper since that's where the Ubuntu Dock is. The patches are old. As far as I can tell, that function isn't actually used by anything in Ubuntu excluding the remnants of Unity. I checked gnome-shell, mutter, and both our default extensions. I checked codesearch.debian.net. The patches are an interesting idea but it's only helpful where a desktop wallpaper is asymmetrical with different colors on the left side. My opinion is that it's not worth maintaining a Debian diff for an unimportant Unity tweak. (One side note, the gnome-desktop patched code was copied into unity- greeter and its 2 forks, arctica-greeter and slick-greeter. But it's a code copy so it doesn't matter what we do in gnome-desktop.)
