This looks ready to migrate, I think we are just waiting for <br>
gnome-shell-extension-easyscreencast (1 day remaining) at which point <br>
the whole group should be able to migrate:<br>
<br>
* gdm3<br>
* gnome-kiosk<br>
* gnome-session<br>
* gnome-shell<br>
* mutter<br>
* gnome-shell-extension-easyscreencast<br>
* gnome-shell-frippery<br>
<br>
The release team could apply some age-days to <br>
gnome-shell-extension-easyscreencast if you want to get this done.<br>
<br>
gnome-remote-desktop already migrated, which surprised me, because it <br>
has a versioned Breaks on gdm3 (but of course it's possible to install <br>
the new g-r-d onto a minimal system, just not onto a complete GNOME <br>
desktop). With hindsight, perhaps we should have given it an <br>
artificial/unnecessary B-D on libgdm-dev to force them to migrate <br>
together?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
