Bug#1051578: bookworm-pu: package gtk4/4.8.3+ds-2+deb12u1

[Simon McVittie]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
X-Debbugs-Cc: gtk4 at packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:gtk4

[ Reason ]
User request in #1043261

[ Impact ]
Parts of the left sidebar in the file chooser dialog (File -> Open,
File -> Save As) are truncated if the window is narrow or the sidebar
contains items with a long name, especially if the accessibility option
for larger-than-default font size is turned on.

[ Tests ]
A prerelease (equivalent except for the changelog and version number) is
available in https://people.debian.org/~smcv/12.2/pool/main/g/gtk4/, and I
have been using it for a couple of weeks on two bookworm GNOME machines
(a gaming desktop and my partner's laptop) with no obvious regressions.

I was able to reproduce something resembling the bug report on bookworm,
and I confirm that this change avoided it.

The same change was in 4.9.3 in experimental and 4.10.x in testing/unstable.

[ Risks ]
I would say this is low risk: it's a targeted fix backported from
upstream, and all it does is to set the ellipsize property on more rows.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
debian/patches/placessidebar-Make-all-rows-ellipsize.patch,
gtk/gtksidebarrow.c, gtk/ui/gtksidebarrow.ui:
Fix #1043261

debian/patches/gdk-x11-Reset-all-scroll-valuators-on-enter.patch:
Metadata changes only, no functional change

d/control.in, d/control, d/gbp.conf, d/watch:
Branch-related trivialities because this is the first bookworm update
for gtk4

[ Other info ]
There are various other fixes queued up on upstream's gtk-4-8 branch,
but I don't think they are going to do a 4.8.4 release with those fixes
included, or any particular QA of their own. We cannot directly test
4.8.x changes in testing/unstable any more, because testing/unstable
have been updated to the 4.10.x and then 4.12.x branches already.

If I find the time to assess impact vs risk for the rest of the gtk-4-8
changes, I'll propose another bookworm update with some or all of them -
but that doesn't seem likely to happen any time soon, and I hope that
reviewing more than one update won't increase the stable release team's
workload too much when compared with a single large cumulative update?

Thanks,
