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 tohttps://extensions.gnome.org  and install
extensions.
Actually, that's not true.  You *can* install the few extensions that
have been updated for GNOME 43, but what you *can't* do is use any of
the other new functionality on extensions.gnome.org. They used to show
you what those functions were, but they were greyed out (IIRC, one of
them allowed you to disable compatibility checks so that you could
install any extension - broken or not). I don't recall what the other
one was, because the options are removed for anyone not on the current API.

This message currently appears on the website with GNOME 42 in Fedora 36
and 37.

"Your native host connector do not support following APIs: v6. Probably
you should upgrade native host connector or install plugins for missing
APIs. Referdocumentation
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShellIntegrationForChrome/Installation>for
instructions."
Oh, yes, you're right. That does make the bug less critical indeed. I
guess it happened to be the case that none of the three or four random
extensions I tested with is updated to 43, so that's why I thought the
bug prevented installing them...


One thing I should mention, I checked and  only 14 of the 37 extensions that can be installed from the Fedora repos are compatible with GNOME 43.  So if Fedora 37 shipped today, I know of 23 packages that would be broken from the get-go.

Also that API issue has been around for *weeks* in Fedora 36 and has been a source of frustration for me.  It's not major, but it is frustrating.
