GNOME 43
UPDATE
GNOME 43 has already arrived don’t use this repository anymore but wait for the normal updates. Remove these packages if you already have them to realign yourself to the official version
Today I installed GNOME 43 (beta) on Arch Linux, as usual there were some problems. The main one was nautilus failing to start causing this error:
Error building template class 'NautilusViewControls' for an instance of type 'NautilusViewControls': .:0:0 Invalid property: AdwSplitButton.dropdown-tooltip
To fix it was necessary to compile libadwaita from the official GNOME sources. Libdspy package & deps are needed.

Fix GNOME Shell Exensions:
If the installed GNOME Shell Extensions are disabled because they are not compatible with GNOME 43, it is possible to fix with this workaround.
Enable viewing of hidden files by pressing Control + H.
Open folder ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
For each extension edit the metadata.json file adding “43” next shell-version field and finally save.
