Worked with Amin on +1 Maintenance. See our notes for more details.
Nautilus 44 Alpha has reached Ubuntu 23.04 now that the big python3 transition has finished.
Cherrypicked a fix for Debian and Ubuntu 23.04 to let blueprint-compiler work with Python 3.11 since that’s our default Python now.
Filed a bug (fixed now) for dh-python’s X-Python3-Version to correctly handle Python 3.10 and later releases.
Sponsored a packaging update for harfbuzz to include the subset library. The main blocker here was a full copyright audit and update of debian/copyright.
xdg-terminal-exec has made it into Debian Experimental and Ubuntu 23.04. More integration work is needed for this to actually be useful.
gnome-text-editor is now back in sync between Debian and Ubuntu since we got approval to use the distro editorconfig-core library.
The Unicode 15 update of our color emoji font is being rolled out to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS now.
Attended one of the Ubuntu desktop flavor lead meeting sessions. I have an action item to formally propose moving pipewire to our desktop-common seed so that it’s used by all Ubuntu desktop flavors.
Found out the hard way that glib 2.75.2 breaks audio. Fortunately, that version is only in Debian Experimental and not in Ubuntu at all yet.
Other news
corectrl’s dependencies are now in Debian and Ubuntu. The only blocker now is a build failure. Unfortunately, this means that corectrl won’t make it into Debian 12 because it will be too late for the new package deadline next week.
The seahorse-nautilus extension is back in Debian and Ubuntu 23.04. (It is not available in Ubuntu 22.10 because nautilus switched to gtk4 which required extensions to adapt.)
