This bug was fixed in the package gnome-bluetooth - 3.34.5-8 --------------- gnome-bluetooth (3.34.5-8) unstable; urgency=medium
* Drop the unused gir1.2-gnomebluetooth-1.0 package. There is a new gir1.2-gnome-bluetooth-3.0 but it's believed to only be used by GNOME Shell (LP: #1968364) * Update debian/watch to avoid new GTK4 series -- Jeremy Bicha <jbi...@ubuntu.com> Fri, 08 Apr 2022 14:09:57 -0400 ** Changed in: gnome-bluetooth (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1968364 Title: [FFe] Switch gnome-shell to use gnome-bluetooth3 Status in gnome-bluetooth package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Why It's Needed --------------- This will fix LP: #1738838 gnome-shell 42 stable release updates for Ubuntu 22.04 will be easier since we don't have to revert all the bluetooth-related commits. Why, More Details ----------------- GNOME Shell 42 uses API from the new gnome-bluetooth library to fix LP: #1738838 The API changes were not practical to forward-port (switch to a new GListModel API). Ubuntu's gnome-shell packaging had to revert ~6 commits to keep using the older gnome-bluetooth library, which is more awkward to maintain. Because of how GNOME Shell extensions work, if an extension tries to modify the bluetooth part of the system status menu in the top right corner of the screen, the extension may not work because Ubuntu's GNOME Shell 42 is different than what every other distro provides. I assess this concern as very low since extensions are "use at your own risk" and there aren't many working bluetooth extensions. The new gnome-bluetooth3 series has an expanded build test suite and has received lots of fixes that won't be ported to the older gnome- bluetooth series. Why It Wasn't Done Before ------------------------- We needed to get a MIR to allow gnome-bluetooth3 in to main while the old gnome-bluetooth is still in main. See https://launchpad.net/bugs/1964600 . Sorry this is a bit late. Still about a week before Final Freeze to revert these changes is issues are identified but we're feeling confident this will be a worthwhile improvement. Other Change ------------ If this FFE is approved, we'd like to go ahead and drop the gir package built by the old gnome-bluetooth since nothing is using it. It is believed that gnome-shell is the only user of the gnome-bluetooth gir bindings. https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/g/gnome- bluetooth/changelog-3.34.5-8 Build Log for gnome-shell ------------------------- This is from our git master so it includes a few other pending changes https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu- desktop/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+sourcepub/13423631/+listing-archive-extra To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/1968364/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
