Bug Description

I'm missing following extensions for Nemo:
nemo-audio-tab
nemo-compare
nemo-dbg
nemo-dropbox
nemo-emblems
nemo-filename-repairer
nemo-gtkhash
nemo-image-converter
nemo-media-columns
nemo-pastebin
nemo-preview
nemo-rabbitvcs
nemo-seahorse
nemo-share
nemo-terminal
Please add them to the Ubuntu repository!

For 18.04 the workaround is:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mint_tara.list
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com tara main upstream import backport # For nemo nemo-compare nemo-fileroller nemo-share nemo-audio-tab etc.
# deb-src http://packages.linuxmint.com tara main upstream import backport

Would you mind to add this plugin to the list? Or is there a specific reason why to exclude this?

I just didn't know about it. No problem to add it.

Because of a problem with the WineHQ PPA I changed the pinning, see changed description ...
But no idea, where to add nemo-rabbitvcs.

What is the problem to add these simple extensions to the Ubuntu repository?

In my opinion the Ubuntu-Unity Desktop is incomplete without extensions for its default file manager Nemo.

Since 23.04 the workaround does no more work because of missing package libpython3.10 and the new libpython3.11 conflicts with the packages from Linux Mint.
