The package will also add a repo where said package is also located and add it to additional-software.conf, so it should be updated automatically when there is a new version on the repo, right? > The approach we support currently is adding new APT sources in > a persistent manner (perhaps in the future we'll support Flatpak > remotes similarly but we're not there yet).

YMMV :) The idea is to have a debian package that adds a Debian repository, apart of a graphic interface to install and enable the other apps. Devs wanted to make the bootstrap process easier for non-technical users, so that is why the gdebi idea. But sajolida's suggestion is OK, users can install gdebi through synaptic and not even persist it, and then the rest of the packages can be installed from the repo. The main package will also be on this repo, so it will be easily updated. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEuIXY3OAXO0KkAgIfNk4d6ixPiDUFAlth4Y4ACgkQNk4d6ixP iDVd4hAAj3PN+7owTFIvxhFNsbEM1+fUldk0XxpJ9DjAbOOHzVBLcuqknXDq+G6J DKEAJYnDc5D9qA3XgZGKyG+GllsbaViouIIdZq/ToszK8MRNBpauFmci/81CdqeA RJ3cxRmTDJEn/hnV7kWmopORfnqlKWbBp03cJl1YspacDOI4sZDNliCCRl7xFY64 NJ3JQjGsWF3BBU/4OuDHR2ODcf/rMpLQLsTrWH+2XskezZNt6C4W63N2z0sGGk9K 12QX58RjqlQ8vjp+Ao/eTQJ3809GJsDtbBkp1c5iSnbhrlb4wdKUyBeLWdrdxroz D2tPI5lEmULHSs+GIAlwjdZVA81RFUxt9d/xGRcef6OLCTp1pDDi1ILBaAEm3BTN pRAwypVg2r3YwLBHkc14gmIkUYi8yshow+zQUmZVFJ7/c0p7WW8HPzSl34nWF5pN BYJq4zI11dY3NzPqyEPdebNsVvazwfjY04T0g+OeMlY0IfDw5Nfwlok9wZA4UOjH PXvrHTXlqIlghEBWzM5+jaB4YSfplZyuyyhW2V5ChGnTmgHY/xxBKpiP/VnENdv0 vDFlXG57nN/Wg36ZWUStrRgjM12WFeaGHgkXlyxmWIXjtnVuusO7gyWFZCHhk1Dx t5ZIQp8w8S+yfP9BKygj6q5Ub79TtTYdm2AWKcss0FzCpigZa9o= =apIN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
