Bug ID: 420971
Summary: Provide nicer alternative to "No Application back-ends
found..." welcome page
Product: Discover
Version: 5.18.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: lei...@leinir.dk
Reporter: andreas.sturmlech...@gmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Discover is very configurable wrt the backends it can have. However, it does
not provide for the case where none of the type 'application backend' is
available, not through missing dependencies, but choice at build time. Discover
then still has its use for Application Addons, Plasma Addons, and as fwupd
frontend, but the displayed 'welcome' page in serious-warning style is not
helpful to the distribution that may never get an interface to its package
management, or the user who consciously built Discover like that.
It should be possible to flip a switch e.g. WITHOUT_APPLICATION_BACKEND at
build time that makes it clear that lack thereof does not represent a packaging
oversight or missing dependency.
