Comment 1 Georg Sauthoff 2022-10-25 22:44:45 UTC
Still incompatible on Fedora 37 and upstream writes:

> Note: Gnome Shell 3.32+ automatically refreshes the wifi list every 15 s.
> I really don't see the need for this extension any more.
> Nevertheless, I am keeping it updated just in case its needed for some special reason.

FWIW, upstream currently supports Gnome Shell 42.


Version: gnome-shell-extension-refresh-wifi-6.0-11.fc37.noarch

So perhaps this package simply should be orphaned.

Same issue with GNOME 44 on Fedora 38.

Comment 3 Aoife Moloney 2023-11-23 00:07:00 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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
'version' of '37'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 4 Aoife Moloney 2023-12-05 21:02:28 UTC
Fedora Linux 37 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on None.

Fedora Linux 37 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
