Gnome-shell-extension-pomodoro working on f16

The gnome-shell-extension-pomodoro is a great extension for gnome3, it allows to use the pomodoro technique easily, adding a pomodoro clock to your top panel.

I installed the official package but it didn’t work on f16, so I began to investigate the reason of the trouble and I found that the package was based on an pre-release version from few month ago that doesn’t have support for the gnome version that is included in fedora.

The bug and the patch are described in bugzilla, see here.

The solution in this case is to install the version 0.5 available in the official github repo or download this unofficial package built by me while the bug is fixed in the fedora repository.

And there you have, the app working perfectly.

Tip: If you don’t know what is the pomodoro technique take a minute to read about it, it’s really useful.
