GNOME 43.alpha tarball deadline extended

[Michael Catanzaro <mcatanzaro gnome org>]

Hi developers,

TL;DR: tarball deadline for 43.alpha is extended by one week to 
Saturday, July 9. Tarball deadline for 42.3 and 41.8 remains tomorrow, 
July 2.

GNOME 43 is currently in bad shape for a couple reasons:

* The freedesktop-sdk 22.08 update that landed yesterday broke glibc 
due to the removal of libpthread. A fixed version of freedesktop-sdk is 
available, but in the meantime, many applications' CI pipelines are 
failing.

* geocode-glib bumped API version yesterday when built with libsoup 3 
enabled. Apps that previously would have crashed at runtime -- 
including Maps and Photos -- now fail to build. Most things that depend 
on geoclue-glib are broken. Also, Vala bindings are required but not 
available yet.

We cannot release a runtime that fixes the first problem because we 
cannot build the runtime due to the second problem. We could hold back 
geocode-glib, but don't really want to because having a separate API 
version for libsoup 3 is very helpful: build failures are better than 
crashes at runtime, after all. So we will take an extra week to try to 
sort through this.

Heads-up:

If your application depends on libgweather, librest-1.0, or libosinfo, 
including if your application depends on any library that depends on 
these, including evolution-data-server and gnome-online-accounts: you 
MUST port to libsoup 3 immediately. Your application will crash until 
ported. These libraries do not have separate API versions for libsoup 2 
vs. libsoup 3, so all applications must be ported at the same time: 
last week. Release team will not notice if your app is crashing. All we 
do is make sure that it builds.
