In the long run, Ubuntu Studio wants to offer the ability to pick and choose what workflows are installed. I think it makes sense to view any choice in upgrades from that POV. That is, assuming 12.04 had been the way we wanted it to be, then the user would only install the parts they wanted and forcing two of those workflows on the user unasked would not be "the right thing to do". I would therefore suggest, that these metas instead be added to the extra-software menu selections not just in these two cases but in all workflow cases. so that when we finally get the installer to just install what the user wants, things will "just work". Software-center can be used to either install or remove these metas... Though it seems that has no effect on the applications the meta points to when the metas is added as part of the original install and then the meta removed. Choosing metas at install time may fix this. So, to try and make things clear, My suggestion is to not add any metas to the Desktop meta as an SRU for 12.10 or for 13.04 and on. I would add the metas to the extra-software menu items. I am not sure that we need to SRU this to 12.10 though, documentation in the release notes should be enough as upgrading with the upgrader is not a recommended route... just something that comes with the ubuntu core stuff. I don't think there is anyway to make it go away even if we wanted it to. It seems to be part of the software updater. So people will try updating no matter what we do. Would it be possible to add an update script as part of preinst in -settings? Something that popped up a dialog that warned updating is not the greatest idea... -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
