I agree and disagree with only patching out the UI elements: while it's possible to prevent adding new Wallpapers.net sources by removing it from the GUI, doing so doesn't remove broken sources that may already exist in a user's config. New code may have to be introduced instead to properly migrate away from dead sources, while removal due to sources no longer present in Variety's supported list are automatically removed.
I will admit that I'm not sure whether auto-removal of missing sources is intentional or a side-effect of how Variety's downloader system works - it relies on exception handling, though that isn't exactly discouraged in Python. :) Maybe Peter can comment on this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628074 Title: Wallpapers.net doesn't work as source of wallpapers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1628074/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
