If I am allowed to add RPMFusion using the Software GUI, it should then also give me a list of the packages that are contained in the repo I just installed, maybe with a red watermark saying that this is a third party binary and it might break your system. Else, just don't allow adding repos in this way and instead, force the user to do it manually, thus making it clear (in a passive aggressive way) that they have to know what they are doing, since they want to use third party packages which are not tested by the Fedora QA team. Apart from the above issue, I am a big fan of Software :) _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
