that is one of the main reasons why plugins are packaged separately though - if that program allows searching and downloading plugins from the internet, it falls under the category of a third-party package manager, and most of those are dubious WRT FSDG-fitness
unless that program only lists free software, then it is likely that someone will eventually post a freedom bug report, to remove the entire download feature - which means we may need to re-package gajim, and some of its its popular plugins too there is a long discussion about TPPMs, and many related issues, and proposals for how to handle them - it seems that gajim needs to be added to that ticket as another one to investigate https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/1035 we should be moving in the direction of filtering or avoiding third-party package managers, rather than encouraging people to use them - what we have found so far, is that filtering is either very difficult or impossible to do automatically, because very few TPPMs indicate licenses or have any policies about what is allowed in the repo - with the exception of haskell and guix, which have stricter guidelines than the others, it would be better to discourage their use as much as possible _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
