GNOME 47.3 released

GNOME 47.3 is now available.

This is a stable bugfix release for GNOME 47. All operating systems shipping GNOME 47 are encouraged to upgrade.

GNOME 47.3 is designed to be a boring bugfix update for GNOME 47 so it should be a safe and uneventful upgrade from earlier versions of GNOME 47.

Enjoy!

Hi! This release is not listed under Index of /core/47/ and there’s no sources directory in Index of /teams/releng/47.3/

Is this expected? (it’s quite possible I missed an announcement about this)

Thanks!

Yes, it is expected and no you didn’t miss an announcement about it.

Due to the new release service, we can no longer produce those directories.

Would it be reasonable to update whatever script that relies on those to instead look at the gnome-build-meta snapshots instead?

Here is the script I used to generate the NEWS file for the releases, maybe the get_tarballs_from_gbm_tarball() can be useful to you?

Ok I suspected that would be the new effective way and I updated the script (generating the debian gnome status pages) to use the gnome-build-meta tarballs, in a manner similar to yours (from a quick look).

However it would help if the buildstream tarballs were hosted in a predictable location : this announcement points to /sources/gnome-build-meta/47/gnome-build-meta-47.3.tar.xz while the 46.8 announcement has /teams/releng/46.8/gnome-46.8.tar.xz, and 48.alpha has /sources/gnome-build-meta/48/gnome-build-meta-48.alpha.8.tar.xz (an extra .8 to the version number)

Thanks for considering this,

The extra .8 to the alpha release is an artifact of the multiple tries to use the release service. It should be the only release having this.

The 46.8 release was manually moved to be consistent with older tarball location, whereas the 47.3 and 48.alpha weren’t. The most likely situation is that we’ll start using the new location (sources/gnome-build-meta) going forward, and keep using the old location for the remaining 46.x release. You can use the cache.json file to discover the latest version.
