Hi, Thanks for starting the discussion, Ankur! I was just about to send a request for testing to the test list. I just pushed gnome-software 3.28.0 to F27 updates-testing that implements Fedora Workstation Third Party Repositories as approved in https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/121 This brings the gnome-software version in F27 in sync with what's in F28. We spent a large part of the 3.28 cycle doing polish and papercut fixes and it should make gnome-software in F27 much more stable and usable. Would be awesome if some more people could give it a spin and test gnome-software over next two weeks or so, in particular to make sure that it doesn't regress any existing functionality (especially updating, where it may take time to discover issues).

We were polishing the new software repositories dialog a lot, but the notification that appears on the overview page didn't get that much love. I'll see what we can do; maybe just disable the notification for now. > - The "find out more" link goes to the wikipedia page on properietary > software, which is frankly useless.

I'll talk to mattdm and see how far we are with this. I'll make sure we update the link before pushing it out to stable. > - And of course, can RPMFusion repositories be included here too if > we're happy to include Google's software? Please open a ticket on https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation -- I don't know the exact process how to add new repos, but I believe opening a ticket there would be a start. > I didn't want to comment on the update.
