oxide will not be maintained going forward to provide security support. As it can be used to view untrusted content, it should not be used anymore. I have not received objections about them yet, however the path forward is to port away from oxide. I do not see many things that depend on oxide-qt in the Ubuntu archive. THere is unity-webapps-qml (ported), webbrowser-app (to be dropped) and so on. There are no incentives to maintain this component for out-of-the-archive builds. To preserve working state in the ppa, you may wish to use copy-package script from ubuntu-archive-tools to copy the latest oxide-qt binaries from the Ubuntu archive into the affected PPAs. > -- > You received this bug notification because you are a bug assignee. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688395 > > Title: > Remove Oxide, webbrowser-app and the Unity webapps > > To manage notifications about this bug go to: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libunity-webapps/+bug/1688395/+subscriptions -- Regards, Dimitri. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688395 Title: Remove Oxide, webbrowser-app and the Unity webapps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libunity-webapps/+bug/1688395/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
