Global changes to all blends sounds important. So, I have moved the repository under the Blends Team at blends-team/fbx and made it similar to other blends. > I've checked out your code and *just* *from* *locking* it looks > good. May be you might like to add more tasks if this is sensible. I kept a single task because many FreedomBox applications are not usable after installation even with some post install configuration. They need to be setup with domain names, TLS certificates, etc. This job is taken care by the FreedomBox web interface based on the current system configuration. Further, applications run all the time and take up resources. A typical previous generation single board computer can only run half a dozen application at a time. So, FreedomBox still has to be the discovery point for all the applications for users who then explicitly choose to install each app. Inside tasksel, a single unambiguous choice has to show up for the user to install the primary web interface itself. Eventually, we can explore better organization into multiple tasks for the sake of task/bug pages as long as user concerns are met. > Once you might have decided for a final location of your repository I > would volunteer to integrate it into the web sentinel (which you > have permissions now but I have some routine and would be happy to do > for you). Awesome! Thanks for offering to update the web sentinel. I will stand by and help were I can. -- Sunil
