I installed landscape-common after reading it's long description from the main distribution on my 9.04, still having it on my TODO list for checking usefulness. Only after posting to u-users about a new quality of SPAM in my /etc/motd I learned that this package was the culprit.
Comparing the bunch of files this package installs to the limited usefulness if you are not a landscape customer, it definitely is not worth installing. I doubt the values diplayed in motd are of any use to anyone when login in, they might be if current at the time of login but afaict they are generated by a cron job, a python script generating this stuff on the fly would be <100 LOC. Please change the wording in the long description to clarify the limited usefulness, to non customers. If it can go into main with this restriction is another story, contrib comes to mind in Debian terms Thanks Siggy (ex-dd) -- MOTD should not point to https://landscape.canonical.com if you are not a customer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268447 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
