Cross-posting from maemo-users as we're now getting into development effort. FWIW, I agree with Marius on the first setting (lose it) and agree the second settings should be kept; although I wonder why it shouldn't be that in "blue-pill" mode (i.e. the cross-domain warning for all users). More information on the problem/use-case of the cross-domain package would be useful, I think. -- Andrew Flegg -- mailto:andrew@xxxxxxxx | http://www.bleb.org/ maemo.org Community Council member ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 12:59 PM Subject: Re: WiFi borked after update To: "ext Dmitry S.

Ok, it's decided, then. Cool. There are two settings of the red-pill mode that require a restart of the AM to take effect. They would need to be fixed. Any volunteers? :-) >From http://hildon-app-mgr.garage.maemo.org/redpill-stable.html * Always check for updates Activating this setting removes the refresh button from the toolbar and instead performs a "Checking for updates" operation everytime you switch to the "Browse installable applications" or "Check for updates" view. This settings was added for some quick UI experiments, but we kept it afterward. You need to restart the Application manager for this setting to take effect. I think we can just remove this setting. It's pretty useless. * Ignore packages from wrong domain Usually, a package from a wrong domain will be completely ignored by the Application manager. Deactivating this setting will not ignore these packages. However, When actually installing a package from a wrong domain, a warning message will still be displayed and you need to confirm that installation should proceed. You need to restart the Application manager for this setting to take effect. The problem here is that the value of this setting is communicated to the "apt-worker" backend process only once during startup. It's useful to keep it, I'd say. _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
