It's that time of year again: a new GNOME Shell release has changed the
API presented to extensions, and therefore requires changes in GNOME
Shell extensions.
Many packaged GNOME Shell extensions compatible with 49 can be made
compatible with 50 by simply patching the metadata.json file to add
"50" to the list and then bumping the upper GNOME Shell Depends to
gnome-shell (<< 51~). Please test before uploading.
Or, it's possible that code changes will be
necessary. Upstream provides a migration guide at
<https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-50.html>.
GNOME Shell 50.0 is currently available from experimental. If the
changes that are necessary for GNOME 50 are backwards-compatible with
GNOME 49, please upload them to unstable, similar to what was done for
gnome-shell-extension-arc-menu. If not, please upload them to
experimental to start with, and then re-upload to unstable when the
GNOME 50 transition begins, similar to what was done for
src:gnome-shell-extensions.
When the rest of the necessary packages are ready and the release team
gives the go-ahead to do the transition, bug reports like this one will
be raised to serious.
Thanks,
