A new upstream major release of GNOME Shell is available in
experimental, and as usual, all GNOME Shell extensions will need updates
to be compatible with the new version.

Upstream provides a migration guide here:
<https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-50.html>

and there is some Debian-specific documentation here:
<https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-shell/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/updating-extensions.md?ref_type=heads>

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,

Control: tags -1 + patch

Ubuntu has a patch for this. It seems that real code changes are not
needed this time, and updating the metadata is sufficient:

Sorry, the new version doesn't support GNOME Shell 51, only versions
50 and older.

workrave-gnome_1.11.4-1_all.deb
-------------------------------
Depends: gnome-shell (<< 51~), gnome-shell (>= 45~)

Ubuntu used a simple patch to handle it, but it looks like no one has
forwarded that upstream yet. (I haven't tried workrave with GNOME
Shell 51 myself.)

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/workrave/1.11.1-1ubuntu1

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha

We'll be requesting approval from the Debian Release Team soon to do
the GNOME Shell 51 transition. Therefore, I'm raising the severity of
these bugs. Packages that aren't ready by the time GNOME Shell 51 is
ready to migrate to Testing will be removed from Testing to complete
the transition.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha

Hi Jermemy,

the transition workflow asks to bump the severity to RC only after the
transition has started [1] . Please respect the estabilished procedures and
don't create a artifical pressure.

Thanks.
