Source: gnome-console
Version: 47.1-1
Severity: wishlist

I think we should upload gnome-console 47 to Unstable now and let it
migrate to Testing.

I had hesitated before because it will break opening new tabs in the
current working directory. However, I reached out to Matthias Klose
about updating Debian's bash to support sourcing
/etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh by default. I don't know if it will happen
but I am hopeful.

My opinion is that we also should be encourage gnome-console users to
switch to ptyxis which happens to also have this issue but overall
appears to handle the needs of more of our users than gnome-console
does.

I need to upload gnome-console to fix compatibility with gtk 4.17 and
it's easier to do this with 47 than with 46.

Are there any objections from the team for this upload?

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
