Created attachment 1192543 [details] gnome-shell-extensions in add-ons Description of problem: Gnome software has a number of gnome shell extensions that area available to be installed as add-ons in it's add-ons section. However some of them are incompatible with the current versions of gnome used by Fedora such as 3.20. This includes: Simple Dock Pidgin IM integration And possibly others. Version: 3.20.4 gnome-software version (also previous 3.20 versions) Affects gnome-shell version 3.20. Additional Info - Suggestions The gnome extensions website automatically detects the gnome version and thus determines which extensions are compatible with the current version of gnome in the system. However it is also nice to have a section for gnome shell extensions to install directly from the software centre of gnome, thus without having to go to the browser and enable potentially risky behaviour. But these extensions could be marked if they are compatible or not with the current system of gnome. The website presents a much bigger number of useful extensions. So perhaps there could be a wrapper or some kind of software in gnome that communicates directly with the gnome extensions website and thus the user can install them from there without having to use the browser.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
