Bug#1008547: gnome-shell-extension-freon: does not declare compatibility with GNOME Shell 42

Package: gnome-shell-extension-freon
Version: 45+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm sid fixed-upstream

Usertags: gnome-shell-42

The metadata.json for this extension doesn't declare compatibility with
GNOME 42. This seems to have been fixed in upstream git (not tested).

gnome-shell 42 is in experimental and will be entering unstable soon,
at which point this will become a RC bug.

To keep better track of which extensions have and haven't been updated for
each new GNOME version, it would be useful if this extension had a
dependency of the form

    gnome-shell (>= x), gnome-shell (<< y)

where x is the oldest version in metadata.json, and y is the next major
version after the newest version in metadata.json (at the moment y = 43).
See g-s-e-caffeine for an example of this setup.

During the GNOME Shell 42 transition, this extension will be removed from
testing if it continues to be incompatible.

Thanks,
    smcv
