What do you think? How do want to deal with users that are not always online? So I would vote against an integeration in the normal user interface. I think that a simple link to a wiki could be a better approach: Get more information and user reviews of BLABLA on the Wiki http://wiki.ubuntu.com/packages/b/blabla But you would still have to think about i18n/l10n. Furthermore are there already existing data pools? I know that wikipedia holds a lot of information about open source software. Finally we already have got a user rating, that is quite a lot more helpful than a voting systems: popularity contest. So only apps that are actually installed and used regularly get high rates. You can see this feature in the latest gnome-app-install of edgy. Cheers, Sebastian The issue with people not being online can be fixed with a local scoreboard that is synced using anacron when they _do_ go online. Both popularity-contest and user reviews would be nice to have in synaptic, imho. /Björn Ottervik -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
An update repository for a custom distro?
Hi, I have a custom distro, that have alot of customize packages, I would like to use the Ubuntu repository for the updates, but I'm afraid that the customize packages would be replaced with the ubuntu packages upon update, I'm wondering how will I use the Ubuntu repository without the customize packages be replaced with the ubuntu version? Is it possible? If not, updates and g-a-i will be nothing at all (for now) :-( Regards, Joel -- Happy Holidays! -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Re: Feisty breaking graphic card?
I too have noticed strange (seemingly random) display corruption, but it can be rectified by going into a screen terminal (alt+f2, fex) and then back. nVidia 7600GS class card, with nvidia-glx drivers. /Björn Ottervik Joel Bryan Juliano wrote: On 12/26/06, *t u* [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Interesting, and scary: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=325209 (no, the OP there is not me) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com mailto:Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss I thought it was an isolated case but It happens too on my dad's laptop and I quickly turn it off.
