On this question, I'm slightly in favor of system-wide installation. It is what we've been all along, and I don't think there's a very compelling reason to move away from it. On the contrary, installing software in $HOME comes with extra complications such as nfs homedirs. > Also: being able to install without authentication but not delete > matches our behavior for system packages.

If we want to allow users to install and delete software without prompts, we can do that regardless of where the installation goes. _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
