Package: gnome-shell-extension-hard-disk-led
Version: 24-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch fixed-upstream

The metadata.json for this extension doesn't declare compatibility with
GNOME 40. It tries to preemptively declare compatibility with every future
version of GNOME for a few years (which seems questionable, but maybe it's
really that simple and unlikely to break) but didn't account for the changed
versioning scheme in GNOME 40.

This is fixed in upstream version 25:
https://github.com/biji/harddiskled/commit/b2c27fab6ab6d1858cf0d1102dc32532bad31dcf

In many versions of GNOME Shell this didn't matter much, because
validation of extensions' metadata against the installed Shell version
was disabled by default, but in GNOME 40 the default has changed back
to enabling the version check by default, in an effort to avoid issues
caused by outdated extensions remaining enabled.

When we do the GNOME 40 transition, hopefully soon, we will have to
either update this extension or remove it from testing. It would be
useful to get a fixed version into experimental: I can NMU that for you
if it would help (I'm now testing GNOME 40 myself).

Would you mind adding the GNOME team to Uploaders so we can "officially"
do team-uploads? I think that'd be useful for future transitions.

Thanks,
