[RFE] Add warning if user tries to use unstable repositories
Last modified: 2016-02-23 09:27:34 UTC
gnome-software-3.14.1-1.fc21.x86_64 Since gnome-software targets end users, I've been wondering if it should let them use unstable repositories for updates, like updates-testing. Of course, some of them may know what they're doing, but in general, it'll be nice to warn an unassuming user that they have an unstable repository which *could* possibly break their system and require debugging - that these repositories are for *testing* only. A warning on the lines of: "Nope matey! If you wanna test stuff, use yum/dnf!" - if we don't want people using g-s for anything other than stable repos, or at least a warning that says "Woah! Are you sure? This stuff isn't tested - it might break and you'll need to be able to debug it!" - would be nice. Richard suggested I file a bug for ui-review: [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2014-October/123264.html
How does someone enable one of these unstable repositories?
