#57: Seeking Council feedback/input on draft third party software policy -------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: pfrields | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: workstation | -------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by rhughes): Replying to [comment:13 mattdm]: > mattdm proposal part 2: So, as the person that's going to have to implement this, I have very little idea what the above means, nor whether the upstream designs from Allan and Jimmac are suitable. You are really going to need to elaborate on nearly all of those points to specify something I can implement or test against. For instance: "should prioritize" -- this refers to the search ordering in gnome- software, or the shell? or both? If the user searches for "chrome" are you seriously suggesting we should show "Nomacs Image Viewer" first and "Google Chrome" second? If you want me to return firefox when the user searches for chrome then I'm going to need a large table of data of translated keywords and the application-id you'd like me to return for those... "specify that there is no endorsement" -- in the search results (in which case you're going to need to come up with a way to say "we'd prefer you use free software" in about 40x200px of space...) or in the details page? Can we show it at the bottom under the screenshot and long description or does it have to be some huge modal-style warning box? "Fedora-prepared educational information" -- do we have URLs to cover non- free and patented available in all supported languages? At the moment we just show a localized description explaining what nonfree software is and allow the user to see the specific licenses (with links to the SPDX site) for free licenses. "must not show non-free search results" -- do we have to ask the user "your search for 'google chrome' will only show google chrome when you click this button [okay]" as this seems somewhat pointless. Could someone (mattdm?) test the gnome-software in rawhide (3.21.4) and tell me if what I've implemented is "good enough" for this ticket? In the case where the .repo file is installed but not enabled we still show the dialog to enable the nonfree source just before starting the install action. Thanks. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/57#comment:14> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
