Public bug reported:

Availability
============

Currently in binNEW - synced from experimental.

This is an arch:all package (no compilation; all JS), successfully
built.

Rationale
=========
The desktop team would like to include Nautilus 3.30 in disco. However, 
Nautilus as of 3.28 - Ubuntu currently has 3.26 - drops support for having 
icons on the desktop. We'd like to keep this.

The upstream team have provided a GNOME Shell extension to replace this
functionality, which we want to ship. It is not "1.0" yet - we are
working with upstream on iterating it.

This package is a GNOME Shell extension written for 'gjs', i.e. in
Javascript with GObject/GNOME support. It uses the standard GNOME
libraries.

Our intention is to work with upstream improve this extension over
'disco' and following cycles up to the next LTS; to that end we would
like to include it in Ubuntu Desktop fairly early on, to identify and
shake out any problems.

Security
========
No known security issues, but this is a relatively new piece of software.
