Totally agree. Even better I do kind of like google-chrome way about this. Their package is a little pest but it probably is the right solution for "partner" packages. It adds a repo to /etc/apt/sources.d/ It adds a key to apt-key It runs a cron job to recheck and re-enable the repo to continue undestrupted upgrades. Can Canonical do this for the Partner repository? Per package or per partner? This would make sense from user experience and a fix a way to provide updates for packages downloaded from the $partner_website. -- With best regards Dmitrijs Ledkovs (for short Dima), Ледков Дмитрий Юрьевич -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
