 The GNOME team would like to do the GNOME Shell 49 transition soon. To 
 simplify the transition, we want to complete the glib 2.86 transition 
 first. 
  
 This transition is bigger than usual since we are also bundling the 
 update to gnome-session and gdm3 since there are breaking changes this 
 time. There is also a gjs mini transition (only adds gjs and polari to 
 the list) that we figure we might as well do together since it 
 requires commits found in gnome-shell 49 anyway. 
  
 Affected packages 
 ------------------------- 
 Source uploads are needed for these packages, all owned by the Debian 
 GNOME team: 
 - gdm3 
 - gjs 
 - gnome-initial-setup 
 - gnome-kiosk 
 - gnome-remote-desktop 
 - gnome-session 
 - gnome-settings-daemon 
 - gnome-shell 
 - gnome-shell-extensions 
 - mutter 
 - polari 
 - xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 
  
 I believe the Budgie maintainers want to upload budgie-control-center 
 & budgie-desktop at the same time so we will need to ping them. 
  
 Packages to be removed 
 -------------- 
 I expect that we'll remove a high number of GNOME Shell extensions 
 from testing for this transition. The porting work is often simple but 
 I don't want to be personally responsible for the growing list of 
 extensions that I don't use. And it's early in the forky cycle.

 glade needs to be removed to complete the gjs transition. It will 
 probably be auto-removed or removed from ftpmasters before this 
 transition completes anyway. 
  
 Other Info 
 -------------- 
 These trackers are good although they don't include the extra packages 
 we are uploading this time: 
 https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/gnome-shell-49.html 
 https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-gjs.html 
  
 As we have done previously in both Debian and Ubuntu, I expect that we 
 will need a manual hint for the transition to migrate. I guess the 
 package relationships are a bit complex for britney to 
 automatically understand. 
  
 This transition removes the GNOME on Xorg sessions. 
  
 I expect that window managers (afterstep, openbox-gnome-session, etc.) 
 will need manual changes if they want to continue to run with the 
 assistance of the gnome-settings-daemon & gnome-session utilities. As 
 long as they aren't part of the Debian tasks, I don't think this 
 should be a blocker for this transition.
