Hello,
I maintain the gnome-shell extension for bubblemail. I was informed by
the upstream developer that in order to support GNOME ≥ 45, he is
rewriting most of the code. What is currently the master branch will
support (recent) GNOME versions up to 44.x and there will be another
branch for 45 and newer.
I assume you mean you maintain the Fedora package? Or are you maintainer
of the extension and asking what you should do upstream?
Do I need to create something like a compat package or can I just
switch to the new source/branch from F39 onward? I suppose that a
bugfix for F37 and F38 down the road is not out of the question, so
there will be two different upstream branches for different Fedora
versions.
You should target the gnome version in each release, no need for compat
packages. That assumes versions on the package(s) are such that users
can upgrade going from one release to the next.
