  3. Jollas thoughts on giving the option to have the community repo "easily" enabled on the phones. (20 min -- asked by ApB) (sledges, 08:06:11)
    1. <ApB> The community repo includes all sorts of SW that gives the phone greater functionality than the currently available. Either because this SW is prohibited on the store or various other reasons. (sledges, 08:06:31)
    2. <ApB> Given that the commercial customers can control what their users use on the phones and assuming there aren't any legal stuff involved i'd like to know how open jolla would be to the idea of having it on the phones and enabled by a switch in the settings somewhere. (sledges, 08:06:48)
    3. <Jolla> Unfortunately we cannot include such settings in Sailfish OS releases, which are made for both our enterprise and community customers. (sledges, 08:08:31)
    4. <Jolla> Users may include custom repositories to their devices if they wish, but we do not want to encourage use of them as installing software from external and community controlled sources has been a recurring reason for failures in the update process and a source for care requests. (sledges, 08:08:38)
    5. <Jolla> Our releasing process needs to have a carefully maintained set of repositories and packages that we can predictably maintain, track and verify, both technically and legally. (sledges, 08:08:58)
