This bug report is a Feature Freeze Exception request on behalf of the Ubuntu Budgie team for magpie v0.9.3 (updated from v0.9.2) which I have released on behalf of the buddiesofbudgie upstream project: https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/magpie/releases/tag/v0.9.3
changelog:
* New upstream microrelease
- Remove toggle-shaded keyboard shortcut binding and associated code;
GNOME 45 has removed the associated schema since the toggle-shaded was
considered broken capability (LP: #2031620)
- Add COGL default_driver option to allow certain architectures to be
built with a specific driver name. It is recommended to leave this as
the default 'auto' for most architectures.
* Drop meson-add-back-default_driver-option.patch since the COGL
default_driver option this has been incorporated in this release
* backport fractional scaling from lunar (LP: #2031908)
0001-Merge-existing-x11-fractional-scaling-patch.patch
* Packaging changes
- d/libmagpie-0-0.symbols update for shade removal; no budgie components
use this option so no need to bump the ABI
From a Ubuntu archive point of view this release is key to support the GNOME 45 transition. Specifically GNOME 45 gsettings-desktop-schemas removes a key that the existing magpie depends upon (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/magpie/+bug/2031620). This causes the budgie window manager to crash.
From a Ubuntu Budgie point of view this release resolves a regression where magpie in ubuntu does not have the lunar fractional scaling capabilities that lunar budgie users can use (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/magpie/+bug/2031908). This is resolved by backporting the lunar mutter fractional scaling patch
We currently have this staged in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntubudgie-dev/+archive/ubuntu/budgiedesktopffe if you wish to inspect the package.
The following packages are built from this source upload:
I/we also commit to fixing any issue(s) that might be inadvertently introduced with this update.
Hey,
Hah, it took me a while to figure out where the Lunar version of magpie is. Anyway, I think the rationale makes sense. I've went through the changes and they all look OK to me and the fact that it's a new addition to the archive with Mantic, I believe the profit to risk ratio is > 1 and thus in my opinion, it's alright to introduce 0.9.3.
I don't have the power to grant an FFe officially but I believe one of the official release team member can chip in pretty soon. Thanks!
