Hi all, Can we have a string freeze break for gnome-software to add four new strings to improve the user experience for non-sandboxed apps (i.e. all RPMs and DEBs). Without this change, non-sandboxed apps will be presented as ‘Potentially Unsafe’ with ‘unknown permissions’ which is not particularly helpful to users for working out what to trust, or why. On distributions which don’t have flatpak/snap set up, this will be all apps in gnome-software.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/-/merge_requests/987 None of the existing strings are appropriate. The new strings are quite short: Packaged by your distribution Packaged by a third party Check that you trust the vendor, as the application isn’t sandboxed Application isn’t sandboxed but the distribution has checked that it is not malicious The exact wording of these may change before the merge request is approved; it’s currently undergoing review.
