As a new user, I would much prefer this model *if* there is also a web-based updating module. It is quite difficult to keep up with multiple streams of updates unless there is a single UI which: * Checks if installed apps are up to date for the installed ownCloud release. * Checks if apps from the store are compatible with the installed ownCloud release. * Manages installation of updates (preferred, but not strictly required.) If this is not available, I prefer the apps known to work with the ownCloud version be bundled with the upgrade. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRBWAXAAoJECWEXpXQfyMwI3MIAMbdC06iGzAzBWhtpztHJaNL 9hLj0QyArYuvkpIS4NxTRJxQQqzrk0194+Ll0Q/HrvA0VhvwFHgE7BAQwGDK3FcV AsLhQb8CJp4bwESWRpP1Zu0eXJTzkOdUKMKXQfVppBM2WnTeXmHiUHTeHDOijzF3 3MKhy1I/aFVLfTCgMgcwu25935kp40hu4vc+0oK+KvT5lwH7MHLqe3GGWCAAoXsn CwBmMGla02t1JU5m5kVD4R/cIfSkBTtBF3sG3Sh3pn23VYCMPPhKZ8uC8e1+IEvB dPFr3YmT1IwdNJnpHFLAIJZ4wtPK7Dm5stlBuBA+loiP4GMphxAqmwchJEXgC70= =aJhE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Owncloud mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
