Hey folks!
So a bug came up at today's blocker review meeting:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2106868
it takes a minute to parse, but the tl;dr is that right now in Fedora
37, you can't go to
https://extensions.gnome.org and install
extensions.
We agreed that it doesn't violate any existing release criteria, but to
me, this is actually kind of a significant problem. Anecdotally, I get
the impression that a lot of our Workstation users do use extensions,
and not being able to easily install them on a fresh install would be a
big problem for them, and make us look pretty bad.
We have a handful of extensions packaged, though I'm not sure how well
they're kept up to date. Aside from those, I don't know of any other
really practical way for regular users to install extensions besides
https://extensions.gnome.org . Is there one?
Assuming for now that there isn't, I'm gonna propose this as a Final
release criterion to see how people feel about it, to come after
"Default panel functionality":
#####
=== GNOME extensions ===
On Fedora Workstation, it must be possible to install and remove
extensions by visiting
https://extensions.gnome.org in the default web
browser, after installing the required browser extension.
#####
Do folks think this is important enough to block Final release on?
Desktop folks, do you consider it "supportable"?
I think it's important to block the final release on. And as a user, I
can't use GNOME without working extensions, so it *must* be
supportable by us. So if we can't do it, we should block the release.
