How often are gnome extensions updated?

Help

Hi,

I upgraded to gnome 49 a few days ago, and I was just wondering, how often is the gnome extensions updated/synced?

In nixpkgs/pkgs/desktops/gnome/extensions at nixpkgs-unstable · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
The extensions.json file was updated last week.

For example, the exenstion “Always shot workspace thumbnails” added support for gnome 49 a month ago:

but it still using an old version in nixpkgs-unstable?
So does the fact that extensions.json was updated last week mean that all extensions was synced, or is there something else that needs to be done as well?

The upgrade script is run manually when someone remembers to do it and it updates all automatically packaged extensions. And changes to extensions.json are almost always done by the script.

But for a changes to an auto-packaged extension to be picked up, a release must be published on extensions.gnome.org. In your case, it looks like they did not even push a tag to their Git repo.

Thanks, I managed to add an overlay to bump the version.
