Description Michel Lind 2025-02-15 16:51:30 UTC

GNOME Shell extensions declare compatibility based on major version.

Providing this in the gnome-shell RPM means we can have a 1:1 mapping between the GNOME Shell major versions supported by an extension with the gnome-shell(api) provided by the gnome-shell package, so we can more easily automate generating the Requires: on the extension package and know it will FTI if the gnome-shell API level is unsupported, catching bugs early.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Fedora Admin user for bugzilla script actions 2025-02-15 16:51:40 UTC

This component is maintained by the GNOME project. Issues with it should be reported directly to GNOME at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/.

This issue should only be kept open if it:

1. Relates to Fedora packaging or integration with other Fedora components
2. Is required for Fedora release processes, such as blocker bugs and freeze exceptions

If this issue isn't needed for either of these two reasons, please:

 * create an issue with GNOME
 * add a link to the GNOME issue here
 * close this issue as CLOSED/UPSTREAM

Thank you!
