Title:
[software-center] `unattended` == PornView
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: software-center
This may not necessarily be considered a bug in software-center, as it
is mostly just displaying content that exists in the Ubuntu package
archives, but I thought I should raise this as a potential issue to
consider as this genuinely just happened today :-)
In the office at work, someone asked me "how can I get Ubuntu to
automatically install all security updates for me?"
So I told them about the 'unattended-upgrades' package, which would
cause this to happen in the background. They eagerly fired up
software-center to see if they had installed the package or not and
typed 'unattended' into the search box. Immediately they were
confronted with this at the top of of a very short list (complete with
'icon'):
PornView
PornView is an image and movie viewer/manager with thumbnail previews.
Additional features includes thumbnail caching, directory tree views,
adjustable zoom, and fullscreen view. Slideshows allow for _unattended_
presentation of images for hands-free viewing. Pornview is written
using GTK+.
Now, I'm far from being a prude, but multiple questions arise from
this:
1) Should such an app be included in universe when Ubuntu is pushing for
inclusion in office workplaces and in schools? At the least, judging from the
description, it sound like it should be pushed out to multiverse really?
2) Should software-center provide some sort of 'safesearch' option to prevent
certain apps from being displayed by default?
3) ...
Any thoughts?
