Bug#726032: transition: GNOME 3.8: gnome-desktop (and all the rest)

[Michael Biebl]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: transition

Hi,

we'd like to upload the last bits of GNOME 3.8
This involves a library transition for gnome-desktop:
libgnome-desktop-3-2 → libgnome-desktop-3-7
and mutter:
libmutter0 → libmutter0b

I recompiled the rdeps of gnome-desktop and mutter and the following
packages failed to build:
gnome-settings-daemon_3.4.2+git20121218.7c1322
gnome-control-center_3.4.3.1-5
gnome-panel_3.4.2.1-6
nautilus_3.4.2-2

Backporting the fixes for gnome-desktop 3.8 or mutter 3.8 is not really
feasible for the packages above so we would like to update them to 3.8
instead. Since those packages are interlinked via
Breaks, e.g. in gsettings-desktop-schemas, we basically need to update
all the remaining parts of GNOME 3.8 in one go, that includes:

mutter
nautilus
gsettings-desktop-schemas
gnome-shell
gnome-shell-extensions
gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-session
gnome-control-center
gnome-desktop
gdm

(not quite sure how to express that via ben).

This is a pretty self-contained transition with all packages aside from
cinnamon and nemo being under the pkg-gnome team maintainenance, and
those two package can be binNMUed just fine.

It would be great if we can start the transition at your earliest
convenience.

Cheers,
Michael
