Title:
Activating -proposed should need a confirmation with a proper warning
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in software-properties source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The GUI is mainly intended for use by normal users. Using the proposed
repository may cause problems and is therefore not recommended for the
broad mayority of users. The normal user should not be able to
activate this repository by just a single click.
We need a proper warning, explaining what -proposed is, requiring
confirmation by the user.
For example:
"Proposed is intended for people willing to test updates before the
reach a wider audience. Are you sure you want to activate -proposed?"
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#settings>: "The “When
checking for updates, check for:” menu should contain options for “All
updates” (the default, -security + -updates + -backports), “Security
and recommended updates” (-security + -updates), and “Security updates
only” (-security) (fixing bug 887079). If your current update config
does not match one of those three options (for example, if you have
opted in to -proposed), there should be a fourth, checked, option:
“Custom”, and this option should persist until you close System
Settings. (UI for configuring -proposed should be provided by the
Ubuntu Contributor Console.)"
