The GNOME team is preparing GNOME 47 in experimental. As usual, we will need a transition to get a new libmutter SONAME into testing, and to get GNOME Shell and its extensions migrated. This is the GNOME release that is likely to be shipped in Debian 13, assuming a freeze date somewhere between December 2024 and March 2025. GNOME 47 is not fully released yet (release day is the 14th) but I'm opening this bug a little early to make the release team aware. Blockers ======== We should get GTK 4.16.x into unstable first (#1079548). We are waiting for GNOME 47 final releases which are due on Saturday (currently most of it is at release-candidate status), hence moreinfo tag. We should seriously consider getting gjs upgraded to 1.81.x/1.82.x either first or at the same time, which will require a mini-transition to remove it from armel (#1080521). Ideally gnome-settings-daemon would go along with this transition, but it has several very flaky build-time tests which cause FTBFS. If they can't be fixed soon, a mitigation would be to disable those tests (I suspect this is a problem with the test scaffolding rather than g-s-d itself). Packages involved ================= The core packages are all GNOME-team-maintained: gjs gnome-control-center gnome-kiosk gnome-remote-desktop gnome-settings-daemon gnome-shell gnome-shell-extensions mutter nautilus xdg-desktop-portal-gnome and then as usual, we will need to do a mass removal of any GNOME Shell extensions that have not been updated (several are already fixed in experimental and can be team-uploaded or NMU'd to unstable, but some will almost certainly need to be removed from testing): https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/gnome-shell-47.html https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bts-usertags.cgi?user=pkg-gnome-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org&tag=gnome-shell-47 Thanks, smcv
