Bug#884742: ITP: gajim-plugininstaller -- Gajim plugin to install plugins from gajim.org
Quoting Jonas Smedegaard <jonas@jones.dk>:
Uhm, now I am confused: You are packaging this specifically to ease
installation of _low-quality_ Pidgin plugins?
(s/Pidgin/Gajim/)
Exactly! High quality plugins are already in Debian.
But not only that, also for users, who like to try new plugins, new
plugin versions, or plugins that might not yet be relevant enough for
Debian.
I hope you will at least include a big fat warning in long description,
Well, at least I will point out, that most Gajim users on Debian will
not need this plugin.
and I wonder which mechanisms I might possibly establish (locally since
I doubt Debian as a whole is willing to change by now) to track and
avoid getting such low-quality-injectors installed on my own systems.
Just do *not* "apt install gajim-plugininstaller"?
This was not possible before, btw. Until Gajim 0.16.8 the plugin
installer was part of Gajim and until we patched it even activated by
default. See #805620.
