Pull request overview
This PR updates the GNOME extension to support the core26 base, aligning it with newer runtime/SDK naming and adding core26-specific runtime integration.
Changes:
- Add
core26to the GNOME extension’s supported bases and reflect it in the “extensions” listing output. - Introduce core26-specific root snippet layout binding for
glycin-loaders. - Add a core26-specific parts cleanup step intended to prune shared libraries from staged snaps, and extend unit tests for core26 root snippet behavior.

Adds a core26 fixture and a glycin layout assertion. |

Updates expected “gnome” supported bases to include core26. |

Disables parallel make execution via .NOTPARALLEL:. |
extensions/desktop/command-chain-kde/Makefile |
Disables parallel make execution via .NOTPARALLEL:. |
Running multiple `install` commands in parallel creates a race condition on creating the directory structure. Disable parallelism in the makefile.
This is a first pass on a cleanup part. It is not very smart, but it takes care of the most important reason for why we need a cleanup part: removing libraries that we already provide in the SDK so that they cannot end up older and with missing symbols when loaded by other libraries in the SDK.

Changes look good to me.
I see the core26 gnome spread test is failing on Error installing snap 'gnome-core26' from channel 'latest/stable'. Does this PR need to wait on that to be released to stable first?

Ah, the test must have been run before I promoted the builds to stable. It is already available in latest/stable now. You may retry the test |
