[Bug 146167] Re: Installing codecs exposes "bad" and "ugly" terminology
I have marked this as affecting gst-
plugins-{bad,good,ugly}{,-multiverse}0.10 as a means of suggesting that
the short package descriptions for these packages should be changed in
accordance with Matt Zimmerman's suggestion in comment #12. Regardless
of whether the removal of the "Apply these changes?" dialog gets
implemented, having less oblique short descriptions for these packages
would be a welcome improvement, and is by and large independent of how
upstream looks at this issue, as far as I can tell.

Again, what gnome-app-install should do is described in the initial report: "Since I've already clicked the 'Install' button, don't show the 'Apply the following changes?' window at all." ** Changed in: gnome-app-install (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- Installing codecs exposes "bad" and "ugly" terminology https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Is the best way to fix this to change the gstreamer packages, or can they be overridden in g-a-i to provide proper descriptions?

What should gnome-app-install do about this? The description of the gst-plugins-bad0.10 is: Description: GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters ... So the short description has the word "bad" in it pretty prominently. I would suggest to remove this from the short description.

And if that's fixed the gst-plugins-* could be closed as obsolete (it would still be showed as bad/ugly in Synaptic, but if a user goes to synaptic and installs the package by hand he likely knows what he's doing, that's completely different than going to play music and seen that dialogue). I would really like to avoid diverging from Debian now that we have the gstreamer stack in sync. affects gnome-app-install status confirmed ** Also affects: gnome-app-install Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- Installing codecs exposes "bad" and "ugly" terminology https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Although I doubt that will be any better than it is now, as a user will be as (or more) alarmed if he sees unstable (or experimental) than if he sees bad or ugly. Non-free sounds like a good replacement for ugly. good doesn't need to be replaced at all. But for bad... what about "not-so-good"? :) -- Installing codecs exposes "bad" and "ugly" terminology https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I agree with Matt that we shouldn't change the package name (specially if Debian doesn't do so, but even if it was my decision to change it in Debian, I wouldn't do it), but we can change the Description and make gnome-app-install show the description. Another thing would be for gstreamer's uptream to change the names, of course. -- Installing codecs exposes "bad" and "ugly" terminology https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Triaged to Confirmed. I like spaghetti westerns as well, but to anyone who hasn't seen "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" staring Clint Eastwood, would be lost on what "ugly" means.

[Bug 146167] Re: Installing codecs exposes "bad" and "ugly" terminology
Showing the description should be implemented in gnome-app-install.
What would you propose for the description? Would this solve this bug?
GStreamer plugins from the non-free ("ugly") set
GStreamer plugins from the unstable ("bad") set
GStreamer plugins from the stable ("good") set
Or would you remove ugly/bad/good entirely?
