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?
Thanks,
