Now I repeat what already said. OpenRepos will not be safe if everything is allowed. Endusers will be confused and don't understand what they install and in the long run break they'r phone and in best case they can reflash factory image.
But thats not something regular users are intrested to do. Not even me as a geek/developer. For example if X app installs python intepretor. Where are python installed on device? /usr/bin? if thats the case what happens if Jolla decide later to install python as default? Maybe this example is stupid. Maybe this is not an issue but what about other thirdparty libs and versions? Thing is I don't beleive you about not breaking because X package manager is better than Y. I have seen dependies/breaking issues on every dist I have used latest 10 years and NO one can always solve everything and I often have to tweak in terminal to fix issues both on OpenSuse and kubuntu. Most the time it breaks when do dist-upgrades. Now that will be even worse on a mobile device if everything is allowed. I definitivly agree that harbour should allow more libs but I still beleive openrepos is to "open" Now I stop my discussion on this thread because it seems lead nowhere and I don'̈́t want to flood the mailinglist by repeating my opinion on this.
