GNOME Shell extensions
All extensions are packaged automatically. They can be found in the pkgs.gnomeXYExtensions
for XY being a GNOME version. The package names are the extension’s UUID, which can be a bit unwieldy to use. pkgs.gnomeExtensions
is a set of manually curated extensions that match the current gnome.gnome-shell
versions. Their name is human-friendly, compared to the other extensions sets. Some of its extensions are manually packaged.
Automatically packaged extensions
The actual packages are created by buildGnomeExtensions.nix
, provided the correct arguments are fed into it. The important extension data is stored in extensions.json
, one line/item per extension. That file is generated by running update-extensions.py
. Furthermore, the automatic generated names are dumped in collisions.json
for manual inspection. extensionRenames.nix
contains provides new names for all extensions that collide.
