[Bug 1009686] Re: Change window title from "Software Updater" to...anything else?

[Arthur Tan]

Hi Adolfo,

After thinking about what Matthew (MPT) has written, I acknowledge that
there are valid differences of opinion about what update manager or
software updater should be called. I agree with MPT that no matter what
it's called, the name should be clear, simple, and direct. For now, I've
changed the bug's status back to Opinion.

I also think that if software updater was merged into Ubuntu Software
Center, it would simply things even further. Consider Google's Play
Store. One program - the Play Store - shows the user what software is
available, what is installed, and what can be updated. Perhaps USC can
do something similar by the next LTS.

Happy new year.

Title:
  Change window title from "Software Updater" to...anything else?

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  In 12.10, "Update Manager" is now being called "Software Updater."

  http://iloveubuntu.net/update-manager-renamed-software-updater-
  ubuntu-1210

  There's also some debate whether "Do you want to install it now?"
  should be "Do you want to install them now?"

  IMHO, we should just remove the second sentence altogether. The dialog
  should just be, "Updated software is available."

  (1) Can we change the name of the window title from "Software Updater" to "Software Updates" ... [or something else]
  (2) Can we drop the second sentence in the dialog box.
