Oh, very informative! Thats why Ubuntu developers are not very keen with the idea of anything that "improves" Ubuntu. One more thing. If you look closely, their only argument against Ubuntu Tweak is "lack of security". So be it. People more knowledgeable than me are better placed than me to comment on the same.
Not on "lack of security" but "posing a security" risk. As Scott Kitterman mentions that it adds a bunch of"third-party untrusted repos". This is a bad move to have a package in official repo which adds untrusted repos. It is not that Ubutnu devs don't want to improve Ubuntu, but there needs a line to be drawn. Ubuntu Tweak exposes a few features which should be *mostly* hidden from non-technical users. If something goes wrong, then they wont be able to guess what actually happened. -- Manish -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
