While the update is unlikely to cause problems, rebuilding all its rdepends is enough of a headache that Ubuntu specifically excludes vala from their GNOME "microrelease exception" for stable release updates. This isn't a hard no, so let us know if you want to do the work. == To be evaluated for risk vs benefit tradeoff == * DebianPts:deja-dup 44.0 -> 44.1 (in trixie) * DebianPts:gexiv2 0.14.0 -> 0.14.1 (in trixie) * DebianPts:geocode-glib 3.26.3 -> 3.26.4 (build tests were changed and need work so that they pass) * DebianPts:gjs 1.74.2 -> 1.74.3 (in Unstable) fixes memory leaks, crash, etc. but might introduce [[https://ci.debian.net/packages/g/gjs/testing/amd64/|autopkgtest failures]] * DebianPts:gnome-boxes 43.2 -> 43.5 (in trixie) * DebianPts:gnome-builder 43.6 -> 43.7 (in trixie) * DebianPts:gnome-nibbles 3.38.2 -> 3.38.3 (in trixie) * DebianPts:gnome-video-effects 0.5.0 -> 0.6.0 (in unstable) DebianBug:1037514 - new upstream release includes one new effect, updated translations, minor buildsystem fixes, and an important bugfix * DebianPts:grilo-plugins 0.3.15 -> 0.3.16 (in trixie): we definitely don't want the libsoup3 changes though * DebianPts:gucharmap 15.0.2 -> 15.0.4 (in trixie) * DebianPts:libadwaita-1 1.2.2 -> 1.2.4 (in trixie) * DebianPts:libgepub 0.7.0 -> 0.7.1 (in trixie) - only used now by tumbler which is an addon for xfce's thunar file browser. Unclear how common the crash is * DebianPts:libhandy-1 1.8.1 -> 1.8.2 (in trixie) * DebianPts:libnotify 0.8.1 -> 0.8.2 (in trixie) * DebianPts:rygel 0.42.1 -> 0.42.3 (in trixie) * gstreamer 1.22.0 -> 1.22.7: [[https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?&packages=gst-libav1.0+gst-plugins-bad1.0+gst-plugins-base1.0+gst-plugins-good1.0+gst-plugins-ugly1.0+gst-python1.0+gst-rtsp-server1.0+gstreamer-editing-services1.0+gstreamer-vaapi+gstreamer1.0|Packages]], [[https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.22/#1.22.1|Upstream release notes]] == Candidates for Debian 12 updates needing a prerelease to be prepared == * DebianPts:nautilus 43.2 -> 43.4 (also see DebianBug:1035072 and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/2379) (in unstable) * DebianPts:gnome-boxes: should suggest Debian 12 instead of 11, maybe also 43.5 * DebianPts:gvfs 1.50.3 -> 1.50.4 DebianBug:1038202 * DebianPts:tracker-miners 3.4.3 -> 3.4.6 DebianBug:1053881 staged in Salsa but needs seccomp fix to be buildable first, see DebianBug:1057617 * DebianPts:gtk4 Once gtk4 4.12.5 is released and in Unstable, might be nice to backport the emoji chooser upgrade to Unicode 15.1 to accompany the emoji/gnome-characters backports included in Debian 12.4 == Needs more information from bug submitter == * none == Prereleases available for testing == * none == Prereleases waiting for RT ack == * none == Uploaded, waiting for RT approval == * none == Accepted by RT for inclusion in 12.5 point release == https://release.debian.org/proposed-updates/stable.html * none == Included in 12.4 point release == * DebianPts:fonts-noto-color-emoji DebianBug:1057150 * DebianPts:gnome-characters DebianBug:1057158 * DebianPts:gnome-shell DebianBug:1038972 [[https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/72|!72]], [[https://people.debian.org/~smcv/12.2/pool/main/g/gnome-shell/|prerelease]] * DebianPts:mutter DebianBug:1049934 [[https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/mutter/-/merge_requests/104|!104]], [[https://people.debian.org/~smcv/12.2/pool/main/m/mutter/|prerelease]] == Included in 12.2 point release == * DebianPts:gjs DebianBug:1034356, [[https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gjs/-/merge_requests/23|!23]], [[https://people.debian.org/~smcv/12.2/pool/main/g/gjs/|prerelease]] * [[DebianPts:gtk+3.0]] DebianBug:1043000 [[https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gtk3/-/merge_requests/18|!18]], [[https://people.debian.org/~smcv/12.2/pool/main/g/gtk+3.0/|prerelease]] * DebianPts:gtk4 DebianBug:1043261 [[https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gtk4/-/merge_requests/13|!13]], [[https://people.debian.org/~smcv/12.2/pool/main/g/gtk4/|prerelease]] * DebianPts:mozjs102 * [[DebianPts:vte2.91]] 0.70.6-2~deb12u1 (DebianBug:1040049, [[https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/vte2.91/-/merge_requests/8|!8]], stable update request: DebianBug:1050124) == Included in 12.1 point release == * DebianPts:mutter 43.6 (DebianBug:1036268; [[https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/mutter/-/merge_requests/93|!93]], stable update request: DebianBug:1036856) * DebianPts:gnome-shell 43.6 ([[https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/69|!69]], stable update request: DebianBug:1036858) * [[DebianPts:vte2.91]] 0.70.6 ([[https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/vte2.91/-/merge_requests/5|!5]], stable update request: DebianBug:1038390) * DebianPts:gnome-maps 43.5 (stable update request: DebianBug:1038780) * DebianPts:gnome-control-center 43.4.1 -> 43.6 [[https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/30|!30]], stable update request: DebianBug:1038777) * DebianPts:gnome-software 43.5 (DebianBug:1036312, [[https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-software/-/merge_requests/11|!11]], stable update request: DebianBug:1036849)
