bookworm vs trixie discussion for mobian in pinephone regular.
#59
You can try to get it into Mobian, but politics are likely to get in the way: Mobian does not like carrying downstream packages that are not in Debian upstream, and Debian does not like carrying downstream patches that are not in the software's upstream, in this case GTK upstream. There are exceptions, but it will be hard to argue (and I would not be surprised either if Mobian and Debian were to attempt to fingerpoint you back and forth to each other, as often happens in this kind of situation). And GTK upstream will obviously not accept a patchset that does little more than reverting 33 of their commits to reverse a decision they made deliberately.

I think putting up a third-party repository (a PPA as the Ubuntu folks would call it) is the most effective solution to get this out to all users quickly without wasting time arguing with people. But I need someone with Debian packaging experience, or at least a Debian/Mobian user willing to learn Debian packaging, to do that for Debian/Mobian.
