GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 761814
Add web app for extensions.gnome.org
Last modified: 2016-02-28 08:03:12 UTC
We already support system wide web apps, and WebKit now supports extensions.gnome.org even in wayland.

I am not sure we should do this. Extension installation is moving to GNOME Software; we probably won't want it once that happens.

Nope, and I doubt it will be ready for 3.20, but maybe 3.22.
(In reply to Michael Catanzaro from comment #4) > Nope, and I doubt it will be ready for 3.20, but maybe 3.22. Then I don't see why not installing our own web app.
Because it looks quite bad for an app to appear in one release, then disappear in the next one....
It will disappear only when http://extensions.gnome.org disappears.
I think we don't want both an extensions.gnome.org web app and also native support for shell extensions in Software.

(In reply to Carlos Garcia Campos from comment #9) > I agree, but we don't have support in GNOME Software. It's planned for 3.22 and I think it will probably happen, let's revisit this in the summer if it doesn't.
Surprise, there's now code for this: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/?h=wip/hughsie/shell-extensions&id=2dc6a32728bb0d5c18e268eb72153fa4e243b79f Seems safe to say this will land for 3.22 (with 2 2s). If it somehow doesn't, then I agree to add the web app, but in the meantime, I'm going to close this, OK?
