desktop-packages team mailing list archive

[Matthew Paul Thomas <mpt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The label used for any third-party archive is completely up to the
provider of that archive. It's the "Label:" field from the archive's
"Release" file. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#channels>

For a PPA, Launchpad insists that you enter its label as a "Display
name" field when you set up the PPA.

So if you think any archive has a bad label, contact the person who set
it up.

Title:
  Software Center uses strange names for third party repositories

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  In the list of third party repositories names read: «JDownloader PPA»,
  «PPA for Banshee Team», «elementarydesktop», «nautilus-elementary» and
  so forth.

  Where did it get those names from? I already have all that
  repositories named correctly and nicely in the software sources:
  «JDownloader», «Banshee», «Elementary Desktop», «Elementary Nautilus»,
  etc.

  Screenshot is attached.

  I know it's rather minor and aesthetic, but don't Ubuntu aim to be
  nice?

  Ubuntu version is 10.10.
