Package review requests: Splitting the "sustmi" GNOME Shell extensions into separate packages
I'm the RPM package maintainer for these two GNOME Shell extensions:
* gnome-shell-extension-sustmi-windowoverlay-icons * gnome-shell-extension-sustmi-historymanager-prefix-search
They're both currently subpackages of the main "sustmi" package, because upstream had been developing them in a single git repository. The two shell extensions have nothing to do with each other, though, and upstream finally decided to split them into separate repositories. So I think it now makes sense to also split them into separate packages.
I'm not entirely clear on the procedure. This wiki page
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrade_paths_%E2%80%94_renaming_or_splitting...
talks at first about *font* packages, but otherwise seems relevant. So, I've started by splitting and updating the spec files, and creating these review requests. As I understand it, because the packages were already accepted into Fedora, and the extension code hasn't changed, just the packaging, I think all a reviewer should really need to check is whether the upgrade path is sane and works properly.
* HistoryManager Prefix Search -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1506428 * WindowOverlay Icons -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1506429
Please take a look, and let me know if I've missed anything.
Thanks, ~ Andrew / terrycloth
Update: I'm still working on splitting the "sustmi" GNOME Shell extension subpackages into their own packages. I've opened an issue on the releng pagure page:
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7124
I've also executed `fedpkg retire ...` for the old package on EPEL7, f27, and master. And the package review requests for the newly split packages have passed. The Bugzilla threads are here:
* HistoryManager Prefix Search -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1506428 * WindowOverlay Icons -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1506429
I *think* I might be done with my part of the process, but I haven't gotten any feedback in a little while. Is there anything else I need to do?

One more time: both of the newly split packages have been marked as approved on Bugzilla, but I can't get anyone to do whatever final approval is needed for the old "sustmi" GNOME Shell extensions to become two separate packages in Fedora. I started this process back in October. I'd like to be done with it now :)

I added comments in bugzilla, but for posterity here:
