Bug Description
Availability
============
Currently in binNEW - synced from experimental.
This is an arch:all package (no compilation; all JS), successfully built.
Rationale
=========
The desktop team would like to include Nautilus 3.30 in disco. However, Nautilus as of 3.28 - Ubuntu currently has 3.26 - drops support for having icons on the desktop. We'd like to keep this.
The upstream team have provided a GNOME Shell extension to replace this functionality, which we want to ship. It is not "1.0" yet - we are working with upstream on iterating it.
This package is a GNOME Shell extension written for 'gjs', i.e. in Javascript with GObject/GNOME support. It uses the standard GNOME libraries.
Our intention is to work with upstream improve this extension over 'disco' and following cycles up to the next LTS; to that end we would like to include it in Ubuntu Desktop fairly early on, to identify and shake out any problems.
Security
========
No known security issues, but this is a relatively new piece of software.

MIR approved. I see no particular issues with the package after reviewing the code; no binary deps in universe, and it's a small package that appears like it should be well maintained in Debian and Ubuntu.
