Subject: gnome-shell-frippery: needs update for GNOME Shell 50

Source: gnome-shell-frippery
Version: 49.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: forky sid upstream
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: gnome-shell-50

It's that time of year again: a new GNOME Shell release has changed the 
API presented to extensions, and therefore requires changes in GNOME 
Shell extensions.

Many packaged GNOME Shell extensions compatible with 49 can be made
compatible with 50 by simply patching the metadata.json file to add
"50" to the list and then bumping the upper GNOME Shell Depends to
gnome-shell (<< 51~). Please test before uploading.

Or, it's possible that code changes will be
necessary. Upstream provides a migration guide at
<https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-50.html>.

GNOME Shell 50.0 is currently available from experimental. If the 
changes that are necessary for GNOME 50 are backwards-compatible with 
GNOME 49, please upload them to unstable, similar to what was done for 
gnome-shell-extension-arc-menu. If not, please upload them to 
experimental to start with, and plan to re-upload to unstable when the 
GNOME 50 transition begins, similar to what was done for 
src:gnome-shell-extensions.

When the rest of the necessary packages are ready and the release team 
gives the go-ahead to do the transition, bug reports like this one will 
be raised to serious: if extensions aren't compatible with the new GNOME 
Shell, they'll have to be removed from testing temporarily.

Thanks,
