Hello all, We've been looking at automating creation of private PPAs for the Software Centre, as part of our ongoing automatic packaging initiative[1].
We've discovered that the "commercial" flag on IArchive was added for the use in selling applications for the Software Center but is _almost_ no longer needed. As far as we can tell, the only thing it gets us is that it prevents PPA subscription emails from being sent to users who purchase things through the Software Center. We think that removing 'commercial' would make Launchpad simpler and reduce its maintenance costs. However, we would want to still be able to subscribe people without sending them emails. It's on this that we want your input. Here are some options that we thought of: * add a boolean parameter to the subscription that controls whether emails are sent * don't send subscription emails when the request came from the API * don't send subscription emails at all Are any of these preferable? Are there better options? Thanks, jml [1] wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomagicBinaryPackaging/ImplementationPlan _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
