That seems intrinsic. If you have an unremovable version then you have to keep it around somewhere, and if you don't put it in a read-only location then it's rather too trivially removable. IMO the solution for manufacturers of cheap Android phones is not to preload shovelware, not that I expect anyone to listen to me. :-P > > > 2) On the app scope, we have to check it so we don't offer the option t > > > remove (alecu?) > > > > This might need a bit of support from click to tell it which > > installation root an app is installed in (a synthetic property added to > > "click list --manifest" or similar). > > Agreed.

I expect the scope needs to call "click list --manifest" anyway, so it should all be in one place. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
