Hi Simon, list, This evening, I gave a try to:
* upgrading my system except gnome-shell/mutter etc. I tried to bump gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0, but this breaks gnome either in 3.36.1-2 or 3.36.1-3 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=956896). May I suggest to add a "Breaks: gnome-shell (<< 3.36)" instead of "Breaks: gnome-shell (<< 3.34)"? Or maybe I'm missing something? * repackaging mutter 3.36.1+git20200419-1 with my revert of 59e9b073 from upstream (context in the gnome thread https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1193#note_776408) Unfortunately it requires libgnome-desktop-3-dev which depends on gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0, same version, so I'm back to the first issue. I can upgrade, compile, downgrade though. Any path I could follow to not experience too much troubles while still being able to test an upgrade with this revert? pch
