Description Martin Jackson 2022-03-27 21:23:26 UTC
Description of problem: gnome-shell-extension-caffeine package as currently packaged is incompatible with GNOME 42 and thus refuses to run on F36


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
39-2.fc36

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gnome-shell-extension-caffeine
2. Try to enable it - it will show an error and refuse to enable
3.

Actual results:
No icon in systray

Expected results:
Icon in systray that prevents screen lock/dim

Additional info:
The upstream project seems not to have updated to support GNOME 42. There is a fork, espresso, which does support GNOME 42. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4135/espresso/. Maybe the caffeine package should be retired, and espresso packaged as its successor?

Comment 1 Jeremy Newton 2022-03-31 22:27:11 UTC
Gnome 42 support was just pulled in yesterday, so I'll update it, but feel free to package espresso if you're interested.

Comment 2 Martin Jackson 2022-03-31 23:01:44 UTC
That's actually great news! I noticed that upstream seems to have some irritation at the forks of caffeine (and espresso in particular). If caffeine stays supported I think we should stick with that. Thanks for the update!

Comment 4 Jeremy Newton 2022-04-01 03:13:17 UTC
Yeah unfortunately caffeine has been more reactive to gnome releases, rather than proactive.
I try to update it as soon as I see the fix come in for the next gnome release.
