Thanks Robie. Yes, most packages in the second list wouldn't fit the definition "Every package that is NOT in ubuntu-desktop, desktop-core or core, but needed for a vanilla GNOME"
gcr4 is seeded however, so it can go in ubuntu-desktop. On 15/09/2025 16:22, Robie Basak wrote:
I've added the following packages to ubuntu-desktop for you: glycin loupe ptyxis tecla libnma software-properties (software-properties-gtk is a binary produced by that source) gstreamer1.0 gst-plugins-base1.0 gst-plugins-good1.0 gst-plugins-bad1.0 pulseaudio pipewire xwayland xdg-terminal-exec xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk As I explained earlier in the thread, the following packages are not seeded. That is, as far as I can tell from a quick glance - I don't have tooling, so it's tedious and error prone - please correct me if I've made a mistake. Therefore these appear unsuitable for the ubuntu-desktop packageset: gnome-kiosk gnome-shell-extensions gnome-terminal showtime gcr4 gnome-shell-ubuntu-extensions gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect gpaste workrave gnome-shell-pomodoro gst-plugins-ugly1.0 gst-libav1.0 gstreamer-vaapi If you want them to go into desktop-extra, then please explain how this fits into the description "Every package that is NOT in ubuntu-desktop, desktop-core or core, but needed for a vanilla GNOME" and how I can validate that. Or if you want to be able to upload them but not through those packagesets, then we can consider creating a different packageset for them, but we'd 1) need a definition that we can rely on in future; and 2) prospective uploaders would need to apply to the DMB for that independently. Thanks, Robie
