Thank you for the clarifications, and the extra effort of patching
0.11.1
** Description changed:
The malcontent package today doesn't really work as a user would expect
in Ubuntu. Known issues today:
- * Only allows blocking flatpak apps
- * Allow/Deny app installation only effects user installable flatpaks
- via GNOME Software, which isn't included in Ubuntu. On a default
- Ubuntu Desktop installation enabling/disabling software installation
- has no effect.
+ * Only allows blocking flatpak apps
+ * Allow/Deny app installation only effects user installable flatpaks
+ via GNOME Software, which isn't included in Ubuntu. On a default
+ Ubuntu Desktop installation enabling/disabling software installation
+ has no effect.
[ Impact ]
- * The update to 0.12 includes bug fixes related to search as well
- as additional translations
- * Ubuntu patches applied enable filter any app installed on the system
- * Hides the UI for enabling/disabling app installation as that switch doesn't
- actually do what a user would expect on Ubuntu
- * Removes documentation related to the software installation UI

[ Test Plan ]
- * Ensure gnome-control-center >= 1:46.3-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 is installed
- * Add a new non-admin user with gnome-control-center
- * Selecting "Parental Controls" in the UI after creating the new account
- should open the malcontent-control dialog
- * Click unlock and enter your password to allow updating the app filter
- * The dialog should only show two entries under "Application Usage
- Restrictions", "Restrict Web Browsers" and "Restrict Applications"
- * Select "Restrict Applications" should open a dialog showing all apps
- * Toggle the switch for an app and close the dialog
- * Login to a user session with the restricted user account and confirm the
- application icon isn't show in the GNOME app grid

[ Regression Potential ]
- * Very low, malcontent isn't included in Ubuntu by default, and even
- if it was installed, it wasn't accessible from gnome-control-center
- as that was disabled until the SRU of
gnome-control-center=1:46.3-0ubuntu0.24.04.1
- * malcontent-control was accessible from the command line, but would only
- allow filtering flatpak apps that included X-Parental-Control in the
desktop file
