GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 690799
gnome-shell-extensions doesn't build classic mode by default
Last modified: 2013-01-03 00:24:32 UTC
I'm reporting this bug here since gnome-shell-extensions doesn't have a separate project in bugzilla yet. If gnome-shell-extensions is built with the configure flag --enable-extensions=all or --enable-extensions=classic-mode, the classic mode data files are built. However, if the package is built without specifying a configure flag or if only certain extensions are built (Debian currently builds all except for the xrandr-indicator extension and the example extension doesn't really need to be built), the classic mode data files are not built even though all the classic mode extensions are actually built. Maybe classic-mode should be a separate configure switch (enabled by default), and the remaining extensions can be enabled how they are currently (default, 'all', or an explicit whitelist).
(This is with gnome-shell-extensions 3.7.3)
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
