Needs updating for 3.6 #17

Closed rrthomas closed 11 years ago

rrthomas commented 12 years ago

This looks non-trivial, but since I've never written an extension I'm not sure. Some very basic poking around with lg didn't help, yet.

I got it with the first comment, no need to flood the bug with '+1's :P

Feel free to send patches.

The TopIcons extension does work with 3.6, and performs the same function. @rcmorano, perhaps you should retire this extension?

rcmorano commented 11 years ago

@rrthomas nice to know, but I don't know what you mean by retiring it (it's not even in 'extensions.gnome.org').

rrthomas commented 11 years ago

I mean "remove this extension" so that users don't find it and then wonder why it doesn't work. You're right that it's less of a problem as it's not on extensions.gnome.org, but it is still linked to from various places on the net.

Perhaps best would just be to put a notice at the top of the README saying "This extension is unmaintained and does not work with the latest GNOME; try TopIcons [link] instead."?

rcmorano commented 11 years ago

I don't that removing it so people that follows a link shouldn't reach the extension. I think that is ok to have the code as part of the history (as any other abandoned project).

But you are right, I've checked the approach of the extension you mention and it seems that it perfectly replaces mine so I'll modify my readme pointing to that "new kid on the block" :]

Thanks for noticing @rrthomas!
