Bug#856603: RFS: arc-theme/20170302-1
Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "arc-theme" * Package name: arc-theme Version : 20170302-1 Upstream Author : horst3180 * URL : https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme * License : GPL-3+ Section : misc It builds those binary packages: arc-theme - Flat theme with transparent elements To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/arc-theme Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/arc-theme/arc-theme_20170302-1.dsc Changes since the last upload: * New upstream release - Cinnamon 3.2 fixes - Fix frame borders with GTK+3.22.9 - Small bugfixes * Packaging Changes - update copyright year from 2016 to 2016-2017 Notes: I see that sid contains GTK+3.22.9 whereas stretch (testing) is currently carrying GTK+3.22.8 I presume that stretch will update to upstream's recommended GTK+3.22.9 version shortly (Ubuntu 17.04 is similarly making this move shortly) - as such, as soon as Debian Stretch does, arc-theme will then be visually broken due to this issue: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779005 'After upgrading to GTK 3.22.9 frame border style should be applied to frame.flat > border instead of frame > border.flat.' The Adwaita theme was updated for these requirements too: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk%2B/commit/?id=0c20604932f I can confirm that this release of arc-theme works with GTK+3.22.8 as well as GTK+3.22.9 Regards, David Mohammed

It's a mess, actually: testing has 3.22.8-1. 3.22.9-1 is a whole new upstream release, with changes that actively break unrelated packages. As you just mentioned, it does at least require themes to be updated, and, as usual for GTK 3 new releases, probably a bunch of gtk-3 using programs as well. Then there's 3.22.9-2 which is a targetted RC bug fix... atop of bad 3.22.9-1 rather than testing's 3.22.8-1. Ie, exactly the reason why uploading random changes to unstable during freeze is a bad idea. I see that gtk+3.0's maintainers will need to make a separate upload to testing-proposed-updates with a 3.22.8-2. However, the migration status at the PTS vs tracker.d.o looks wrong: the former mentions an unblock request while the latter says it's (as expected) frozen. As there's no unblock bug on release.debian.org, I assume the PTS once again shows stale data.

That's not usual for point releases, in this case a bad change slipped through. That has been fixed in 3.22.9-3. > Then there's 3.22.9-2 which is a targetted RC bug fix... atop of bad > 3.22.9-1 rather than testing's 3.22.8-1.

That bug was introduced in 3.22.9, it doesn't affect 3.22.8. So no, nothing needs to go through tpu. BTW thanks for the notice about this regression. Cheers, Emilio

I want to add, that the relevant changes in gtk have been reverted upstream as well in 3.22.10. So no changes should be necessary for arc-theme. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

tags 856603 - moreinfo Hi Gianfranco, I've uploaded to mentors a rebuild of the same package - this time I've changed from unstable to experimental.
