Source: gnome-shell-extension-mediaplayer

Severity: serious
User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: gnome-shell-3-22
Hi,
your package gnome-shell-extension-mediaplayer declares a strictly
versioned dependency on gnome-shell. We've uploaded gnome-shell
3.21.92 to unstable, which makes gnome-shell-extension-mediaplayer
uninstallable.
In the past, it was necessary to explicitly declare supported
gnome-shell versions in metadata.json. This was lifted in gnome-shell
3.21.92 [1].
"Nowadays, the user interface has mostly stabilized with most changes
happening under the hood. As a result, extensions written for
previous versions of GNOME Shell are very much expected to keep
working on updates, if it wasn't for the version check that requires
a version bump in the extension metadata. There has been a setting to
disable that check for a while, but it's existence isn't widely known
(hence the common perception that "everything breaks on updates").
While there is still some risk that an out-of-date extension can be
enabled without error, but fails spectacularly later (where we cannot
catch the exception), it is reasonably small by now when compared to
the ~95% of extensions that can be "unbroken", so swap the default
value to disable version checks by default."
As a result, you could drop the gnome-shell << XXX version limitation
altogether. The Debian release cycle is pretty long though, so we
don't know yet if the gnome-shell version in Buster will actually be
compatible with your extension today. We will release Stretch with
GNOME Shell 3.22, so my recommendation would be to use gnome-shell
(<< 3.23) as upper limt.
Modifications for metadata.json are no longer required.
Regards, Michael

Description:
gnome-shell-extension-mediaplayer - GNOME Shell extension to control media
players
Closes: 837726
Changes:
gnome-shell-extension-mediaplayer (0~git20160509-3) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Rely on gnome-shell >= 3.21.92 having dropped version-checks
by default (Closes: #837726)
- Drop patch to metadata.json. It only declares compatibility with
3.20, but that's OK because the version-check is disabled by
default now.
- Depends: gnome-shell (<< 3.23). This avoids using stretch versions
of this extension with buster versions of GNOME Shell, since we
can't predict whether it will be 100% compatible
