gnome-desktop3 3.8 has been uploaded to saucy's new queue

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Hey guys, some comments about that transition:

* Before starting a transition that impacts others, please check on #ubuntu-desktop if it's ok to start it

* get things ready before uploading, don't upload and then start working out your way through rdepends

* could somebody explain that changelog part:

" * Dropped changes:
    - 02_refuse_to_break_GL_compositors.patch:
      + Doesn't appear to be needed any more"

why is it not needed?

* please file merge requests, pulling from a ppa to manually copy your diff in the vcs is not the way we should deal with those uploads:
- it's harder to review
- it's more work for the sponsors
- it doesn't use the normal sponsoring process

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-desktop3 - 3.8.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
gnome-desktop3 (3.8.2-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
  * Sync with Debian (LP: #1184812) Remaining changes:
    - debian/patches:
      + 04_compute_average_color.patch: Compute the avergage color in
        gnome-desktop itself, not in unity to fix some races (LP #963140)
      + tweak_color_computation.patch, Patch from Gord, no patch header,
        no bug link.
      + git_revert_draw_background.patch
      + ubuntu_language.patch, Ported relevant bits from g-c-c
        52_region_language.patch, as required for gnome 3.8 region panel
      + ubuntu_language_list_from_SUPPORTED.patch,
        adds api to get list of available languages from SUPPORTED file.
        To be used by gnome 3.8 region panel language installation.
    - debian/control.in:
      + Don't break gnome-shell << 3.7.90
      + Use source:Version for gnome-desktop3-data Depend
      + Add epoch to gnome-desktop3-data's Breaks/Replaces, as our old
        gnome-desktop source package introduced an epoch. This needs to be
        kept until after 14.04 LTS.
   - Install helper tools into a versioned directory (by overriding
     libexecdir). They could alternatively be installed in a separate package
  * Dropped changes:

      + Doesn't appear to be needed any more
