** Description changed: Impact ===== Someone looking for the new Extension Manager app in the Ubuntu Software app (or the GNOME Software app) to install and manage GNOME Shell extensions won't be able to find it. https://appstream.ubuntu.com/jammy/universe/issues/gnome-shell- extension-manager.html Test Case ========= If this works correctly, This page should be created and look ok: https://appstream.ubuntu.com/jammy-proposed/universe/metainfo/gnome-shell-extension-manager.html And you should be able to see the app in the Ubuntu Software app. You might need to log out and log back in to make sure the background service for Ubuntu Software is stopped and refreshed. We need to wait for the AppStream metadata to be generated by appstream.ubuntu.com and published for this fix to work. I expect that could take a day. What Could Go Wrong =================== The only thing this update is doing is moving the AppStream metadata to a different location. Since the AppStream metadata is currently not being recognized by Ubuntu's appstream generator, this can't make things any worse. + I do not know how the apt phased updates feature will handle this + change. My guess is that it will be fine as it will allow the user to + install the older gnome-shell-extension-manager from the Ubuntu Software + app. Or it could fail. Because the app is completely uninstallable from + the Ubuntu Software app currently, I think the failure would still be an + improvement and it's only a temporary failure while the update is being + phased in. + Other Info ========== It is a big tricky to test and validate appstream fixes like this one. For instance, AppStream metadata is not generated for PPAs. It's been a few years since I've done an AppStream fix like this. I think the test case will work here, but there's a chance it won't. For reference, here is the current error: https://appstream.ubuntu.com/jammy/universe/issues/gnome-shell-extension-manager.html And this page is missing because of that error: https://appstream.ubuntu.com/jammy/universe/metainfo/gnome-shell-extension-manager.html When this bug is fully fixed, those pages will still be there, but first the jammy-proposed pages will look better and then jammy-updates.
