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.
From a quick look at upstream, it seems that code changes were required,
but there is no formal release yet with those changes in it.
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,
smcv
