Description Martin Wilck 2013-09-19 16:22:13 UTC
Description of problem:
The extension "Pidgin Conversation Integration" is marked as outdated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[root@cooper admin]# rpm -q gnome-shell
gnome-shell-3.8.4-2.fc19.x86_64
[root@cooper admin]# rpm -q gnome-shell-extension-pidgin
gnome-shell-extension-pidgin-0-0.9.git87fc23433d.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install gnome-shell-extension-pidgin; start GNOME

Actual results:
See above

Expected results:
Fedora installs extensions that are compatible with the shipped GNOME version.

Additional info:
The rpm package has a dependency on "gnome-shell >= 3.6":

[root@cooper admin]# rpm -qR gnome-shell-extension-pidgin
gnome-shell >= 3.6

but the package itself depends on "gnome-shell == 3.6":

[root@cooper admin]# cat /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/pidgin-conversation-integration/metadata.json
{
[...]
 "shell-version": [ "3.6" ],
[...]
}

The extension has been rewritten for 3.8:
https://github.com/Psykar/gnome-shell-extensions-pidgin

Apparently the reqrite required non-trivial changes.

Comment 1 Martin Wilck 2013-09-19 16:29:12 UTC
The same problem occurs for several extensions, on my system:

gnome-shell-extension-pidgin-0-0.9.git87fc23433d.fc19.x86_64
gnome-shell-extension-presentation-mode-0-0.5.gitc3ce6b2.fc19.noarch
gnome-shell-extension-remove-accessibility-icon-20111008-4.fc18.noarch
gnome-shell-extension-remove-bluetooth-icon-0.5.1-1.fc19.noarch

I can confirm that this upstream works for Gnome 3.8.
