Hi,
I've taken a look at gnome-software yesterday, originally because the Package Synchronization Issue Overview is showing a greater difference between the version in the archive than available in Debian
3.36.0-3pureos1 vs. 3.38.1-1
https://master.pureos.net/sync/landing
Next I was looking at source.p.s to start a deeper look, but there are two repositories for gnome-software!
https://source.puri.sm/pureos/packages/gnome-software https://source.puri.sm/pureos/core/gnome-software
But in none of both trees I can find preparations for the current version 3.36.0-3pureos1 in byzantium.
The first of the two repos seems to be mostly driven by the L5 requirements in the past, the other seems to be modified only by Matthias by one commit in two different branches.
To decrease confusion I'd like to drop one of both trees or at least meld them together. This requires consensus what to do or what state to archive. So I want to ask how other members see the situation and which way to take.
To me updating the first listed repo seems to cost the smallest amount of time given we would only need (want?) to add the PureOS delta from the current version 3.36.0-3pureos1 in the archive.
To add more repos to the above (but it can also make things simpler): The Librem 5 uses PureOS store:
https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/pureos-store
which is a more recent, slightly rebranded gnome-software. This
- means that you don't need to worry about the phones when updating gnome-software - it might be be an option for the Laptops to switch to PureOS store as well to be consistent - dropping the downstream fork of gnome-software.
Hope this helps? -- Guido
