Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs
The documentation in the gnome-app-install package appears to have been
last updated in 2006. (06/29/2006: V 1.2)
We already ship decent documentation about installing packages with the
ubuntu-docs package in add-applications.xml. That is more complete,
because it explains more subjects:
# 1. How is software installation on Ubuntu different from on Windows?
# 2. Installing an application
# 3. Removing an application
# 4. Adding a software repository
# 5. Installing software packages without an Internet connection
# 6. What is restricted and non-free software?
# 7. Overview of the default Ubuntu software repositories
It is also significantly better translated. I think it would be helpful
to merge the native gnome-app-install document into the ubuntu-docs
package so that the help button in the gnome-app-install application can
then point at this (similar to the way that other native Ubuntu packages
like jockey do their desktop help). I don't think there is much to do
actually, perhaps the one topic that isn't already covered by add-
applications.xml is how to search for applications.
I think a help button could also be added to software-sources which
points at this document too.
I'd like to hear what the gnome-app-install maintainers think of this
idea.
