Don't claim 3rd-party repos are part of the OS on Debian derivatives (!484) · Merge requests · Plasma / Discover

Matthias Klumpp requested to merge work/mak/better-os-origin into master Feb 22, 2023

Hi!

This improves !474 (merged) on Debian and its derivatives (Ubuntu, PureOS, Pop_OS, ...) by only showing the distribution as origin if it actually is the origin, and showing the raw repository name in any other case.

While the raw repo ID string is not pretty at all, and PackageKit still lacks an API to get that pretty name (which APT actually knows...) at least this change is more honest than claiming things are part of the OS that actually aren't.

I expect this change to not be super noticeable on most configurations except for likely Ubuntu installations with a lot of PPAs.

Cheers, Matthias
