IRC servers and radio streams are not installed as root and do not modify OS configuration. They are just user settings. And to my knowledge, no other application in the Ubuntu archive attempts to install specific third-party repositories by itself. > I don't think kpackagekit, packagekit-gnome and adept received such an > extensive testing as Software Sources/Update Manager/Software > Center/Synaptic, still they are on the archive. Adept (in the past) and KPackageKit are standard package management applications in Kubuntu, supported by the Kubuntu developers. Package management is what they *do*, it's their whole purpose. Ubuntu Tweak is a kitchen sink of random features. > Why is that wrong as long it's clear than an install operation will be > invoked ?

Users typically don't expect an application to be installed by merely clicking a checkbox without an explicit "install" button. The language support application is a specific case: it is essentially a mini package manager, which installs localization packages from a list. > So you agree that there is a need for ubuntu-tweak until the other bugs get > fixed, right :) ? "Need" would be too strong, since those settings are available in gconf. (And I said that "need" for the casual user only strictly applies to the part of Ubuntu Tweak that modifies gconf settings.) Some users may find it useful, but I would rather not see it in the official Ubuntu archive. -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
