It means that gnome-shell-extension-argos and gnome-shell-extension-freon have not been built against the version of gnome-shell available in Rawhide. Both currently fail to build. See: https://bugz.fedoraproject.org/gnome-shell-extension-argos https://bugz.fedoraproject.org/gnome-shell-extension-freon If you're going to play with Rawhide, you have to expect breakages like this. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
