[Bug 432819] Re: software-center doesn't respect X-AppInstall-AlwaysOnTop

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Four months later, we've had no feedback, so I've removed the X
-AppInstall-AlwaysOnTop details from the specification.


If the Edubuntu developers (or anyone else) want special emphasis for a
particular set of packages, please let us know separately, and we can
design a more thorough solution.

I think that the "Departments" method will likely work fine (or maybe
better) for Edubuntu. I've subscribed the Edubuntu Council so that they
can give more input.

Setting to "incomplete" to get feedback if the proposed change is ok or
if it clashes with some of the use-cases.

We have a feature to add additional top level Categories (Departments)
easily now. You just need to drop a .menu file in /usr/share/app-
install/menu.d - I think this is a sufficient replacement for the
AlwaysOnTop mechanism and I would like to suggest to use that.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: software-store
  
  Gnome-app-install uses the X-AppInstall-AlwaysOnTop to "float" certain
  items to the top of a category. Edubuntu uses this in the Education
  category as a delivery device for educational application bundles.
  
  As this was an approved spec in Jaunty and software-store is officially
  replacing gnome-app-install, it is a regression for Edubuntu.
+ 
+ : "If a department
+ has any subsections, or if it has any items marked as X-AppInstall-
+ AlwaysOnTop, the department screen should have two panes ... If there
+ are any items marked as X-AppInstall-AlwaysOnTop, the top pane should
+ begin with a “Bundles” section, presenting those items alphabetically in
+ an icon view."

I markt this won't fix for karmic, we need to discuss a solution for
lucid.

Michael,

Better yet, Edubuntu got rid of the Add-on CD for Karmic so as far as
we're concerned the the lack of addon cd handling is no problem. I'm
sure other people would like to use it at some point though so it might
be nice to include it at some point.

[Michael Vogt]

I removed the target for 9.10. Its not going to be implemented in time
(sorry for that). A probably more critical issue for edubuntu is bug
#449337 - software-center does not support the whole addon cd concept.

One solution is to keep gnome-app-install in ubuntu so that we have the
addon mechanism, another one would be to use synaptic for this cycle and
fix it properly for lucid.

Michael, I'm assigning this to you, as you're the likely implementor.
Thanks.
