[Bug 1315342] Re: Stop appending 3rd party PPA names with warnings
> The ammendments "# disabled on upgrade to trusty" is a comment and subsequently has not effect on the entry. Nope, it makes the name of every PPA in the software properties dialog the same: 'disabled on upgrade to bionic'.

[Bug 1315342] Re: Stop appending 3rd party PPA names with warnings
Yes, the comments compound, if I recall correctly. IDK why you don't just edit the text files (/etc/apt/sources.list, and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list) with an editor, esp. if the GUI sucks. It's pretty common practice for tools that mess with your config files to leave extra comments showing what they did. They're only useless if you're re-enabling stuff right away after an upgrade, when you still remember what happened. If you had forgotten that you had something from a PPA, and think of it months after an upgrade, it might be a useful reminder to see that you used to have a PPA enabled, but now you don't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315342 Title: Stop appending 3rd party PPA names with warnings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1315342/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The ammendments # disabled on upgrade to trusty is a comment and subsequently has not effect on the entry. Why do you think that comment should be removed? ** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist ** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315342 Title: Stop appending 3rd party PPA names with warnings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1315342/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1315342] Re: Stop appending 3rd party PPA names with warnings
Because the comment is only valid for the short period between when I perform an in-place upgrade and when I deign to re-enable said PPA's, which I typically do almost immediately. I'm generally no interested in keeping invalid comments in my sources, so I choose to remove the ammendments when I re-enable the PPAs. Which, as I've said is time consuming using software-properties-gtk (incidentally, why *do* comments show up in the PPA name field in software-properties-gtk?). In any case, I could equally ask developers why they think it desirable or neccissary to add such comments to my sources. You've already made provisions to warn the end user *during* the in-place upgrade that their third-party PPA's will be disabled. Do you think the end user a fool? Regards, Lee. P.S. A related question: were I to have an unbroken chain of in-place upgrade from when I started using Ubuntu (which was Karmic), would my sources be littered with multiple 'disabled on upgrade to…' or just the one (i.e. do these comments of yours compound?). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315342 Title: Stop appending 3rd party PPA names with warnings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1315342/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
