 shirish | first up software software is told two times but even then it's too much of information for a user. | 05:58:04 |
| shirish | what it should say is what will happen if the user accepts or denies the request which is not addressed. | 05:59:11 |
| shirish | it's only when I run $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure matrix-archive-keyring then it breaks up the dialog boxes so they make some sense. | 06:01:32 |
| shirish | a normal user will never know what he has signed up for. | 06:01:46 |
 Maximus | Linda: ty, will try in a little bit | 10:38:10 |
 Linda | shirish: Good points. I fixed the typo and will reword that a bit. | 14:08:19 |
| Linda | shirish: Fyi, debconf(1) templates like above cannot have suggestions based on assumptions such as "if X, choose yes". It's because the application displaying the message may have checkboxes instead of "yes"/"no", for example. | 14:16:21 |
| Linda | So it may be a bit difficult | 14:16:40 |
| Linda | I figured the meaning of "APT" is never explained in that dialog. | 14:19:45 |
 andrewsh | s/APT // should do | 14:23:41 |
| andrewsh |
Packages from those sources …
| 14:23:50 |
| andrewsh | reads totally fine | 14:23:54 |
| andrewsh | these, even | 14:24:14 |
| Linda | I totally just took the word "APT data sources" from sources.list(5) man page. | 14:24:18 |
| Linda | It was "those" initially, but I changed it to "these" at some point. I guess "those" is better. | 14:25:55 |
| andrewsh | I have no opinion on that | 14:26:06 |
| andrewsh | those and these both sound fine to me | 14:26:13 |
| andrewsh | but I’m not a native speaker | 14:26:17 |
| andrewsh | these might be slightly better… | 14:26:32 |
| Linda | Maximus: By the way, I totally forgot to say I whitelisted only Debian and Ubuntu for the "Use APT data sources from Matrix.org?" question. If you don't see it on Linux Mint, that's okay. | 14:30:03 |
| Maximus | ok | 14:38:16 |
| Maximus | ty for the follow up | 14:38:16 |
| Linda | It just means you'll have to configure it manually. | 14:38:36 |
| Maximus | yep, that's fine | 14:45:54 |
| Maximus | my servers are on Debian, so that won't be a problem. I was just testing on a dev machine | 14:46:11 |
| Maximus | Linda: Thank you very much for doing all the hard work on this - this is very helpful and appreciated | 14:47:01 |
| Linda | Thank you for testing and finding it useful. 😊 | 14:48:06 |
| Linda | Default: false
_Description: Use APT data sources from Matrix.org?
The APT package management system may be configured to download supplemental
packages from the Matrix.org package archives. These packages are digitally
signed with keys from matrix-archive-keyring, but may require software outside
of your system's distribution to either build or function.
.
Packages from these sources may not be up to par with the technical
requirements set in the Debian Policy for distributed packages.
Is this wording any better? | 14:54:37 |
| andrewsh | I’d also say additional, not supplemental, but that’s just me | 14:57:02 |
| Linda | Debian Policy called it supplemental, so I did | 14:57:13 |
