Version: 2.2.16-3
Severity: wishlist
Hi.
I'd like if there could be a package with further extensions.
For example "Workspace grid (2D) and switcher"
(http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/116)
looks like a very promising one, since it gives back most
functionality from the workspace switcher applet, people used
to know from GNOME(classic).
I'm not sure whether the best solution would be a big package like
cinnamon-extensions or so, which contains all non-default extensions
or per extension/applet packages.
Cheers,
Chris.

Hi Chris,
I'm closing this as wontfix: a package with all the spices isn't
something we plan to do. Upstream there are about 400 of them (273
applets, 80 desklets, 46 extensions), written by many different authors
and meant to be installed from Cinnamon's own settings. Packaging them
would take a huge amount of time, and a significant part of them seem
abandoned or poorly maintained, which would make keeping them in Debian
risky.
Packaging a single spice is still possible as a separate package, as
workrave-cinnamon already does for its applet, or as the
gnome-shell-extension-* packages do for GNOME: anyone interested in a
specific one can file an RFP or ITP for it.
Best regards,
Fabio
