Co-maintained with Debian GNOME. arch:all package
Changes from Debian
-------------------
- Updated to the latest stable version
- Disabled debian-distribution.patch. See https://bugs.debian.org/840804 The patch is required because Debian currently rejects uploads that contain files in /etc/opt/ but Ubuntu does not. It's possible to have a different patch series for Debian than Ubuntu and I forwarded that to Debian in that bug but it has not been accepted into Debian yet.
Rationale
=========
Users of gnome-shell expect that they will be able to install (and uninstall, enable, disable, and configure) GNOME Shell extensions by visiting https://extensions.gnome.org/ in their web browser. It is a usability problem for users to have to install chrome-gnome-shell from the command line for that feature to work.
gnome-shell in Ubuntu 16.04 - 17.04 recommends chrome-gnome-shell.
Workaround: It is possible to install and uninstall extensions in GNOME Software in Ubuntu 17.04+. It is possible to enable and disable extensions; uninstall extensions; and configure any extension preferences in gnome-tweak-tool (not currently installed by default in Ubuntu 17.10 but it was always installed by default by Ubuntu GNOME).

https://github.com/nE0sIghT/chrome-gnome-shell-mirror/issues/
Dependencies
============
All runtime dependencies are in main
Supports both python2 and python3 but Ubuntu's packages uses just python3
Standards compliance
====================
3.9.8
Maintenance
===========
- Actively developed upstream
https://git.gnome.org/browse/chrome-gnome-shell/log
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-gnome/chrome-gnome-shell.git/
And here's the source code for the extensions.gnome.org website:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/extensions-web
Background Info
===============
Before Firefox 52, extensions.gnome.org used to work out-of-the-box with GNOME Shell because GNOME Shell provides a NPAPI plugin (Firefox no longer supports those plugin). The NPAPI plugin is still included in GNOME Shell for Epiphany's benefit since Epiphany has no support for WebExtensions.
The package name is because this package originally provided support for the Chrome browser, but now other browsers have adopted the WebExtensions API pioneered by Chrome.
Other Info
==========
chrome-gnome-shell has two parts, a system helper that's provided in this Ubuntu package and a WebExtension.
There's a Chrome/Chromium enterprise policy that automatically installs the Chrome webextension for Chrome and Chromium. It can be found in policies/chrome-gnome-shell.json
For Firefox, there is a banner when you first visit the site with a button to install the required WebExtension. The browser does not need to be restarted but the page needs to be refreshed.
It looks like chrome-gnome-shell has a background service that starts when you first start your browser. The service continues to run even after closing the browser.. |
