Port the Fedora package to Debian (deb) #742

Closed FranklinYu closed 2 years ago

FranklinYu commented 2 years ago

The extension has several dependencies, as noted in the ReadMe. It would be more convenient for users if they can install this extension via apt, which keeps track of the dependencies automatically. Fedora already has a package; might be worth submitting a Debian package to the Debian team.

I might take a look at this later this year, but don’t rely on it. Any one feel free to work on it. suggest label: feature request

I also was looking for this and I found this package, but it seems to be maintained by the Debian GNOME Maintainers team.

I'm going to use it because I'm having some issues installing the extension directly from Gnome Shell Extensions website.

After installing the package (and logout/login or reboot the system), just activate the extension in the Gnome Extension manager.

Although I agree that packages do simply installation, packaging this extension to individual repos is outside the scope of this project. Individual repo maintainers are free to take a release and package it how they set fit. I believe both Fedora and Ubuntu maintainers package this extension themselves.

Thank you. The Debian package does the job very well; shall we add it to the “repository installation” section in ReadMe?

matheuswillder commented 2 years ago

If I understand correctly the package for Fedora in ReadMe already third-party, so maybe adding the other third-party packages for Ubuntu and Debian as well would be nice. But it's just a suggestion, I started using this extension only recently and just had some issues installing directly from Gnome Shell Extensions, but it must have been something on my side (but I didn't have time to try to find out why).

Posting just in case anyone ends up here: Gnome now has its own official system monitor extension, and in Debian it has the same package name that this one used. This doesn't affect Debian 12, but as of Debian 13 (Trixie), installing gnome-shell-extension-system-monitor will install the Gnome official system monitor extension, not this one.

I couldn't find whether this extension was moved to a new package, so I moved to Freon for now: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gnome-shell-extension-freon
