Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.66
Severity: wishlist
gnome-shell extensions install a JSON file containing an object with a
shell-version member that contains a list of gnome-shell major versions
(3.26 for eg) the extension is compatible with. When the installed
gnome-shell version doesn't match one of these versions then the
extension cannot be loaded. The Depends of the extension package
should match the shell-version list from the metadata.json file.
There should be two depends, one for >= the lowest major version
supported and one << for the next odd numbered major version after
the highest major version supported.
Here is a broken extension example:
$ cat /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/metadata.json
{
"description": "Show IP addresses (private or public) in gnome-shell
drop-down status menu",
"gettext-domain": "show-ip",
"name": "Show IP",
"settings-schema": "org.gnome.shell.extensions.show-ip",
"shell-version": [
"3.22"
],
"url": "https://gitlab.com/paddatrapper/show-ip-gnome-extension";,
"uuid": "[email protected]",
"version": 4
}
$ apt-cache show gnome-shell-extension-show-ip | grep Depends
Depends: gnome-shell (>= 3.16)
Here is what it should look like:
Depends: gnome-shell (>= 3.22), gnome-shell (>= 3.23~)

Apparently this is not needed after all, gnome-shell >= 3.22.0 doesn't
check extension versions by default.
