A nice idea!
But a few thoughts of the top of my head:
* A package manager accesses repositories of software that have been
designated free/libre. What if one of these packages changed status,
how would the hard coded manager deal with that?
* What if someone wants to install free/libre software that hasn't
been hard-coded into the package manager?
Cheers!
Hi Chris
I don't really know how synaptic works but I bet it would be dead easy
to build a facade over apt-get. Actually the banned applications
wouldn't have to be hard coded but probably should be put somewhere that
isn't obvious. If a user wants to load proprietary crap then they will,
it wouldn't have to be a high security effort.
Not sure if a linux version could have two updates, one from the libre
control group and then the other from the standard distros.
Am I getting warmer? (or just dumber !)
