There's an open bug about this; but basically it's because you're on a
prerelease gnome-shell and the shell extension site is give us a
subset of results. Fix in progress serverside.
* Many of the GSES extenstions in Software don't have
screenshots, and their
descriptions are pretty minimal. How can we work to make these better?
The ones from the extension site are pretty poor generally. After a
long period of not having an upstream maintainer we now have some
fresh blood so maybe we have some engineering resources to look at
this now.
* A handful of the GSES ones that show in software are of
questionable use
for Fedora Workstation. Such as:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1139/apt-update-indicator/
Can you file this as an upstream bz against gnome-software please; we
should have a mechanism to "block" things that just don't work.
* None of the extensions that are in the repos seem to be installable
from
GNOME-Software. They just fail silently in the interface. For example in
F26, i tried to install OpenWeather from the repos via Software, and it
failed silently.
I'm away from my computer at the moment, but if you could open an
upstream bug with the --verbose trace I can have a look at it later.
