Update to 1.64.2 and SRU it

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

[ Impact ]

That's the current GNOME stable update, including some fixes and translation updates
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/-/tags/1.64.2

[ Test case ]

The update is part of GNOME stable updates
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

GNOME Shell and its components should continue working, as well other gjs based apps like polari

[ Regression potential ]

Update fixed various memory leaks, and the critical ones are included in the test suite, so ideally there should not be problems.

The ubuntu-dock must still work properly (as a change affected a class there)

Hello Marco, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gjs into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gjs/1.64.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

1.64.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 is in focal proposed.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Could you please provide some details about the steps you took to verify that gjs and things which depend on it (gnome-shell, ubuntu-dock, polari) continue to work?

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

I've tested the SRU'ed version (1.64.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) in with both gnome-shell and its extensions at version 3.36.1 and 3.36.2 and no regression has been noticed.

Everything still works as expected. All the upstream tests pass as well.
Not mention that for the micro-release GNOME exception, we can trust upstream also tested the whole set of updates.

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

The verification of the Stable Release Update for gjs has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

This bug was fixed in the package gjs - 1.64.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1

---------------

    which is the default in compat level 12 anyway.
