Gnome 42 stable update

Pablo Correa Gomez requested to merge pabloyoyoista/aports:gnome-42 into master

Update all core GNOME apps and systems to their latest stable version.

This is the first attempt to automate the process using https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/pabloyoyoista/gnome-aports-utils It is far from perfect, but should allow to pull in quite a lot of bug fixes and translation updates which right now we are loosing. The GNOME projects are only allowed to backport bugfixes and add translations in between stable releases. So I would consider that the chances of breakage are quite low 😄

If this goes well, I will try to replicate the same for stable releases. In practice, stable releases only get updates in GNOME packages if somebody opens an issue in aports, missing many other potential bugfixes and possibly many translations. So it would be great if we could avoid that in the future :)
