Title:
String-freeze exception for scary third party vendor string
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “software-center” source package in Precise:
Fix Released
Bug description:
software-center 4.0.2, Ubuntu 11.04
In the overview of software in Software Centre that does not come from
the officially supported archives, a warning text is shown informing
the user that this particular piece of software is not supported by
Canonical, but that updates MAY be delivered by the community/a third-
party. It is not only shown for software from community-maintained
archvies or for PPAs, but also for software that is on sale.
Although this message is factually correct, it is a scary message.
Users might get the impression that by default no updates should be
expected, but if you are lucky something might be done. Especially for
paid applications, this might not be very encouraging towards users.
I would suggest to change the warning from a negative formulation to a
positive: updates for this software are provided by X. Not Canonical,
etc.
Furthermore, this message is also shown for packages from the
Canonical Partner archive--which is maintained by Canonical, AFAI. Is
that desired behaviour?
