Hello Carlos, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gtk4 into noble-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk4/4.14.5+ds-0ubuntu0.1 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-
noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-noble. 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.

Title:
  [SRU] Update gtk4 to 4.14.5 for Noble

Status in gtk4 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gtk4 source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  4.14.5 is a new bugfix release from upstream:
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/blob/4.14.5/NEWS?ref_type=tags

  * Some notable bugs that motivated this SRU:
    - upstream MR #7535 ci: avoid another date-dependent failure (Jeremy Bícha), allows building on 31st day of the month.
    - salsa #1077287 / LP: #2098698 debian: Depend on libgles2 (Simon McVittie)

  [ Test Plan ]

  Test Case 0 - ci
  ----------------
  gtk4 has an extensive build test suite, and failures will fail the build.
  gtk4 also has thorough autopkgtests.
  Ensure that the build succeeds and that the autopgktests pass.

  Test Case 1 - gtk4-demo on containers
  --------------------------------------
  Setup an Ubuntu 24.04 container (Ubuntu on WSL instance also works).
  Make sure it doesn't contain the libgles2 package already installed.
  Update apt cache and install gtk-4-examples and try running gtk4-demo.
  With previous versions of GTK4 it fails to launch due libgles2.so not found. With this version debian/control explicitly defines the dependency so apt installs libgles2.

  Test Case 2 - build on day 31st
  -------------------------------
  Adjust your system date to Jan 31st of the current year and try to build the binary packages. Package tests should fail with previous versions of this source package.
  Alternatively, you can test the specific part of the sources causing trouble: Set your system calendar to the 31st day of the month (for instance July 31)

  cd testsuite/gtk
  gcc -o notify notify.c $(pkgconf --cflags --libs gtk4 gtk4-unix-print)
  ./notify
  The test should complete successfully like it does if it is not the 31st day of the month.

  Test Case 3 - portal-test snap
  -------------------------------
  snap install portal-test --edge
  snap run portal-test
  Verify that the app seems to still work ok

  Test Case 4 - GNOME apps
  ------------------------
  Install and test a few other GTK/GNOME applications like nautilus and gnome-text-editor, and verify that they continue to launch and work as expected.

  [ What Could Go Wrong ]

  Many of the default Ubuntu desktop apps use GTK4. A serious enough
  regression could severely break the Ubuntu Desktop.

  Ubuntu includes xdg-desktop-portal-gnome by default which is used for
  many snap actions like providing a file chooser using GTK4. This is
  critical functionality for our snaps. The Ubuntu flavors use a
  different portal backend, most commonly xdg-desktop-portal-gtk which
  uses GTK3, so are not affected by this SRU.

  [ Other info ]

  gtk4 is included in the GNOME micro release exception since it is part
  of GNOME Core
